A state’s constitution authorizes a state reapportionment board to redraw state legislative districts every 12 years. During the

most recent reapportionment process, consultants had provided the board with two alternative plans for reapportionment. One plan provided for districts with less than a 3% difference in proportional representation between districts. The other plan was drawn up to conform state legislative districts as nearly as possible to county borders, resulting in differences in proportional representation between districts of up to 12%. The current apportionment of legislative districts results in differences of up to 15% between districts. The board ultimately selected the reapportionment plan based on county borders, and this plan was approved by the state legislature.
A Caucasian resident and registered voter of the state brought a constitutional challenge to the reapportionment in federal court. His claim is based on the fact that, as a result of the plan that the board selected, the percentage of the African-American voting population in the district in which he lives increased from 45% to 55%. Had the other plan been selected, the percentage would have been unchanged in his district.In the absence of a federal statute applicable to the state, is the resident likely to prevail?

Answer:

No,<em> because preserving political subdivisions is a legitimate state interest that justifies the plan's variance in representation.</em>

Explanation:

In a similar example, The majority made mention of the State constitutional power of the Virginia General Assembly to pass local legislation associated with specific political subdivisions.

They considered that legislative role to be an essential and substantive feature of the powers and procedures of the Virginia legislature, and therefore justified an effort to preserve political subdivision boundaries in drawing the districts of the House of Delegates.

Its large percentage reached the conclusion that although the consequent overall range between house districts <em>"may well approach tolerable limits, we do not believe it exceeds those limits."</em>

Using the prototype model, how would one form a concept of a fish?
Sergeu [11.5K]

The Prototype Model is a theory of <u>graded categorization</u> developed cognitivists such as Rosch (1970),  Driven and Taylor (1988) which states that a concept is represented by a prototypical element. Thus, there are certain characteristics that frequently<u> co-occur </u>and lead to the definition of a certain category. It is worth mentioning, that certain members of a category are prototypical and they are not all equal. For example, if we think about the concept furniture, <em>table</em> is more frequently cited than <em>counter or desk</em>.  

If we are asked about the concept of water animals for example, we will probably think of fish (they all live in the water, they have fins, they can swim, they can be of different shapes and sizes). Going deeper, if we are asked about the concept of fish, we would probably think about a little, two-fin, orange one and not, at least at first, about a shark or a whale for example, though this depends on our experience.
