Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Gray v. Sanders case dealt specifically with Georgia's "county unit" system of apportionment, which gave more weight to votes cast in small, rural counties than to votes cast in more populous areas. The court ruled that this system violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and required states to use a "one-person, one-vote" standard in apportioning legislative districts. The other options listed (Jaybird and none of the above) are not relevant to the case.
