The number of people represented by each member of the U.S. House of Representatives has more than tripled since the size of the House grew to 435 members in the early 20th Century. Should the number of congressional representatives be increased in the House right now? Would representation be improved if more representatives were added? Is there a limit to the size the House can reach before it cannot operate effectively and efficiently as a legislative body?
