Question

what effect would you expect the 1964 Supreme court case, Wesberry v. sanders, to have on the likelihood of a group of small rural farmers being heard in congress and why

Answer 1

The likelihood would be lower because the supreme court decision effectively reduced the impact that smaller rural communities had on representation in the house of representatives in the national level. This is because the districts had to be drawn according to the population in order to make all districts equal in population size which resulted in smaller rural areas getting swept away by larger communities since they would become parts of their districts.
