21.The House of Representatives has how many voting members?
21.眾議院中有多少位投票議員？
Answer: Four hundred thirty-five (435)
答案：435位
Explanation: Americans live all over the United States, but some places are much more popular than others.
解釋：美國人遍及全美國，但有些地方要比其它地方更受歡迎。
For example, more than 35 million people live in California, but only about 500,000 people live in Wyoming.
例如，加州有3500多萬人口，而懷俄明州只有50萬人口。
One of the challenges (or difficult things to do) in the U.S. government is to let big and small states participate in the government fairly.
美國政府面臨的一大挑戰（難做的事情）就是讓大小州平等地參與到政府事務當中。
Is it fair to give both states equal participation in the government?
但讓大小州平等地參與到政府事務當中公平嗎？
Or should California have more power than Wyoming since it has so many more people?
或者說因為加州有更多的人口，所以它應該要比懷俄明州擁有更多的權力？
The people who created the U.S. government decided that they would have to answer 'yes' to both questions.
美國政府的創立者認為他們必須對這兩個問題作出肯定的回答。
They created the Senate, where each state has equal power no matter how big or small it is,
他們創立了參議院，無論州的大小，參議院里的每個州都擁有同等的權力；
and they created the House of Representatives, where states with more people have more power than states with fewer people.
他們還創立了眾議院，眾議院里人口更多的州比人口更少的州擁有更多的權力。
The House of Representatives currently has 435 representatives, or people who are elected (or chosen by large groups of people) to make decisions for their states.
眾議院目前有435位眾議員，或者說是被選出來（或者由一大群人選舉產生）替他們州做決定的人。
