1 point The justices didn't want to enter the "political thicket." Baker v Carr Gray vSanders Reynolds v Sims Colegrovev Green

The phrase "political thicket" refers to the justices' reluctance to engage in politically contentious matters. This concept arose notably in Baker v. Carr, Reynolds v. Sims, and Gray v. Sanders, where the Supreme Court addressed issues related to legislative apportionment and voting rights, avoiding interference in the political processes. Colegrove v. Green, however, precedes this trend, where the Court declined to intervene in an Illinois apportionment case, suggesting a different stance.
