What did the Supreme Court decide in Baker v Carr 1961 quizlet?

History

5 0

In Baker's favor, the Supreme Court made a decision. They came to the conclusion that federal courts have the authority to enforce the 14th amendment if the population distribution of the state legislative districts is uneven.

Biggers' lawsuit was improperly dismissed by the District Court because they felt they lacked jurisdiction.

In Baker v. Carr (1962), the United States Supreme Court decided that allegations that a state's redistricting procedures violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution may be reviewed by federal courts.

A 1901 statute intended to distribute seats for the state's general assembly, according to Baker and other Tennessee residents, was allegedly largely disregarded. Baker's lawsuit explained how Tennessee's efforts at reapportionment disregarded the state's major economic development and population changes.

The British occupation of Egypt was one such occupation to control the Suez canal. Another reason was the belief in the superiority of European race supplemented by social Darwinism. the competition among the European nations was not only economic reasons but it was also a matter of national prestige.
