Question

How is the size of a legislative district determined? (1 point) Responses by geographical boundaries by geographical boundaries by city limits by city limits by the apportioned population by the apportioned population by county boundaries

Answer 1

The size of a legislative district is primarily determined by **apportioned population**. Redistricting often aims to ensure that each district has roughly equal populations to ensure fair representation in legislative bodies. Geographical boundaries, city limits, and county boundaries can also influence the shape and layout of districts, but the primary criterion for determining the size is the population in order to adhere to the principle of "one person, one vote."
