Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The court decisions in 1962 and 1964 centered around the principle of "one person, one vote."

This was seen as necessary to ensure that citizens were not being denied their Fourteenth Amendment rights due to unequal representation. The other choices (B, C, and D) are not accurate in describing the court decisions or their outcomes.
