[David Shipp]

I understand that the Constitution calls for "not to exceed thirty thousand" per representative, but what law(s) govern how many each state has? The US constitution gives each state the right to govern themselves. So, for instance, how does Virginia or North Carolina decide what number of Representativves it has?   Currently as you point out, North Carolina has 120.  Also, given the magic number of thirty thousand per representative, , how can you have a minimumn and a maximumn. If NC has a population of 9,535,483 at the last enumeration ( census ) then the numer is fixed at 318. No variable until the next census.  But then, you are using a federal magic number; Thirty thousand.  This is not a stae number.   How is/are the state numbers determined, now?  How and why are we using a Federal enumeration for states? 

[David Shipp]

 On the Federal level, North Carolina only has thirteen Federal house Districts. According to your numbers it should have 318.

That's correct. This table is incomplete. There is a better one HERE.
