In Congress, representation is split between the House and the Senate. In the House of Representatives, each state's number of seats is based on population — for example, California has the most with 52 representatives, meaning about one representative per 760,000 people, while Wyoming has just one representative for its roughly 580,000 residents. In the Senate, however, every state has two senators, regardless of population, giving equal representation to all 50 states.
