I would love to.

I would love to.

Yeah, it is. So the legislative branch of the federal government is Congress. Congress has two houses in it, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate has a six-year term, and they're meant to be slow and deliberate. Every state gets two senators. And so consequently, small states like Wyoming get exactly as much representation as giant states like California get.

And a lot of people feel like, how is that fair? Wyoming has less than one million people in it and they get two senators just like California does. This is something they argued about when they were writing the Constitution. They fought like cats and dogs about this.

And the House of Representatives has allegedly proportional representation where a state gets a certain number of representatives based on their population. And all of those representatives serve two-year terms. So there's 100 senators and 435 representatives. And together, those 535 members make up the entirety of Congress. There are a few people, they have kind of more advisory jobs to Congress.

They're delegates to Congress. And they represent places that are United States territories, places like Guam or Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., places that are not states represented. They're allowed to go to committee meetings and make their voice known, but they can't vote on legislation.

So the problem with proportional representation is still that there is a finite pie that has to be divvied up. Every 10 years, they go through and re-divvy up the pie again, these 435 seats. After the 2020 census, California actually lost a seat in the House of Representatives, even though California is bigger than it's ever been, of course, right?

And that's because other places grew faster than California did. So the number of people that are being represented by one representative in Wyoming or North Dakota is much, much, much smaller than the number of people that are being represented by one representative in the state of California, for example.
