The chamber that has equal representation for each state is which?

• A. Parliament
• B. Council
• C. House of Representatives
• D. Senate

Answer: (D)

Equal representation for each state means every state has the same number of seats in that chamber, regardless of how many people live there. This design protects smaller states by giving them an equal voice alongside larger ones. In the United States, this principle is embodied by the Senate, where each state has two senators. The other chamber, the House of Representatives, assigns seats based on population, so larger states have more representatives. The terms Parliament and Council refer to legislative bodies in different systems and don’t specifically denote equal-state representation. So the chamber with equal representation for each state is the one that houses two senators per state.
