Bottom line is, if you believe that government should have more checks and balances, then a Presidential system will give you that. If you believe that it should have the power to enact laws quickly, then you should go for a Parliamentary system.
The House is one of Congressâs two chambers (the other is the U.S. Senate), and part of the federal governmentâs legislative branch. The number of voting representatives in the House is fixed by law at no more than 435, proportionally representing the population of the 50 states.
There are 435 members of the House of Representatives. Federal law determines how many members are in the House of Representatives. The law was passed on Aug. 8, 1911. That measure raised the number of representatives to 435 from 391 because of population growth in the United States. The first House of Representatives in 1789 had only 65 members. The number of seats in the House was expanded to 105 members after the 1790 Census, and then to 142 members after the 1800 head count. The law that set the current number of seats at 435 took effect in 1913.
