California has the hightest number of state represtentatives, 53 to be exact.
By the Virginia and New Jersey Compromises combined together to make the Great Compromise that gave 2 reps to each state for the Senate and population determined how many reps each state had for the house.
The house of representatives may have 1 state rep at the very least. There are 435 house members (District of Columbia has 1 rep - constitutional amendment #23, 1961 - for a total of 436, but only for the electoral college - not for regular legislation). The states are granted house members based on population, which varies from year to year, so the number of reps is subject to change. However, the total number of reps is fixed @ 435. Hope that helps.
