__________ segregation results from housing patterns,economic patterns,and gerrymandered school districts.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

De facto segregation results from factors such as housing patterns, economic patterns, and social norms, rather than intentionally discriminatory laws or policies. Gerrymandering (A) involves manipulating political boundaries to benefit a certain group, but while it may contribute to segregation, it is not the direct cause. Ex-post facto (B) refers to criminalizing an act that was legal when it was committed, and is not relevant to segregation. De jure segregation (C) refers to segregation that is explicitly sanctioned by law or policy, which is not the case in this question. Ad hoc (E) refers to a solution created specifically for a particular problem or situation, and does not apply here.
