Question 33 of 128 · American Government · System of Government
Who does a member of the House of Representatives represent?
Accepted answers
- Citizens in their (congressional) district
- Citizens in their district
- People from their (congressional) district
- People in their district
Any one of these is accepted, unless the question asks for more than one.
Why this is the answer
A member of the House represents the people of one congressional district, one of the pieces a state is divided into. That is why the House is the chamber of local concerns: a representative speaks for one district, its towns and its neighborhoods, not for the whole state. Any of the four official answers is fine: the citizens, or the people, of their district. Memory hook: House means district.
