A minority-majority district is a congressional district whose boundaries are drawn to maximize minority voting power.

Congressional districts are administrative divisions of a larger administrative region that represent a region's population in the larger congressional body. In other countries, they are known as electoral districts, legislative districts, wards, and electorates. Notably, electoral districts in Australia are referred to as "electorates" or "seats," whereas in Canada, they are referred to as "constituencies" or, more colloquially, "ridings." Congress has districts in the United States, the Philippines, and Japan.

Majority-minority districts may be established to avoid or correct violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965's prohibition on drawing redistricting plans that limit a racial or language minority's ability to elect its preferred candidates. Affirmative racial gerrymandering may result in majority-minority districts in some cases. The importance of drawing district lines to create majority-minority districts is debated both within and outside of minority communities.

What was the argument in the Dred Scott case
Kamila [148]

Dred Scott Vs. Stanford case was heard in Supreme court of US which issued its final ruling saying that Africans whether free or slaves were not the citizens of US.

Explanation:

Dred Scott who is a plaintiff and a slave was bought by John Emerson in Missouri. Later Emerson came along with Dred Scott to Illinois where Scott married and as they were returning to Missouri, Emerson died. Now Dred Scott decided to sue for his freedom in the federal court. He claimed he was free as he lived in the  free state.

Robert Taney who was the chief justice issued the land mark decision that African american though free or slave were not the citizen of US and hence Dred Scott had no right to sue in the federal court. Dred Scott lost his case and this ruling was condemned universally as one of the racism based verdicts which paved way for the amendments of the statutes pertaining to the rights of African Americans.

4. How might these questions about human nature, purpose, and flourishing be answered by those holding a pantheistic or atheisti
valkas [14]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Using Atheistic worldview.

It is generally believed that, atheist do things or acts based on logical conclusion, rather than following the laid down rules or mode of living set out by God  and prophets.

Thus, atheist would view human nature, purpose, and flourishing based on their own experience or conscious self reasoning, instead of seeking God for answers on those questions, by looking for meanings through scriptures or word of God.

To the athiest, human nature will be a composition of his biological instincts and physical experience. The question of purpose to athiest will be based on self definitions, rather than central purpose or destiny, and question of flourishing will also be based on personal evaluation in comparison to his immediate or socio-enviroment.
