Why are there more members of the house of representatives in legislative branch?

The House of Representatives has more members than the Senate because its representation is based on population, with larger states having more representatives. This design ensures that the interests of more populous states are proportionally represented in Congress. The total number of representatives is capped at 435, distributed among the states according to the decennial census. In contrast, the Senate allocates two members per state, regardless of population size, resulting in a smaller total number of senators.
