Question
Question 3(1 point) Which of the following best describes the reasoning in Bakerv. Carr(1961)? Unequal representation of citizens in legislative districts is unconstitutional and may be reviewed by the courts. Political issues such as reapportionment, redistricting and gerrymandering are to be resolved by the legislative branch. Racial gerrymandering is a violation of the Fourth Amendment's exclusionary clause. Gerrymandering that favors a single party is not subject to legal action because there is no standard to determine how a state legislative district map should be drawn.
