Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both Baker v. Carr and Wesberry v. Sanders dealt with the issue of equal representation in government. In Baker v. Carr, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal courts had the right to intervene in cases involving legislative apportionment, which means that voting districts must be drawn in a way that provides equal representation for all citizens. Similarly, in Wesberry v. Sanders, the Court ruled that congressional districts must be drawn so that each district contains roughly the same population. Allowing each county in a state to elect only one representative to the state senate regardless of its population would be a violation of these principles of equal representation.
