Some countries have more people, so they get to send more representatives. Imagine a classroom where each kid gets to speak for themselves, the bigger the class, the more kids there are who can talk at once. In politics, it's similar: larger countries usually send more people because they want their voices heard just as much.
Examples
- A small country like Luxembourg sends only one person to a big meeting, while China sends many because it has over a billion people.
- In a school council, the class with more students gets to have more speakers represent them at the assembly.
- If you're on a team and your group is bigger, you get to send more members to negotiate in an important game.
