Describe the process purpose and problem with gerrymandering

1 answer:

6 0

Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's supporters across many districts) and "packing" (concentrating the opposing party's voting power in one district to reduce their voting power in other districts).[3] The third tactic, shown in the top-left diagram in the diagrams to the right, is that of homogenization of all districts.

The purpose is to help or hinder a particular demographic, such as a political, ethnic, racial, linguistic, religious, or class group, such as in U.S. federal voting district boundaries that produce a majority of constituents representative of African-American or other racial minorities, known as "majority-minority districts"

The problem is that it causes increased incumbent advantage and campaign costs , less descriptive representation , or using prisoners as voter count.

Why did Alexander Hamilton support high tariffs?

schepotkina [342]

After the Revolution, the new United States faced a competitive disadvantage in that the status of industry nationally was relatively weak as compared to European industrial powers.

If a specie is prepared to survive because of certain characteristics and skills and other species haven't, the simple will to survive will not save this specie, because nature did not give it this opportunity.

Question: what do you think the quote means? Pls do it. I will mark you as brainiest

lana [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Greek architecture is very intentional, and is based upon logic and order because its efficient, and purposeful. Like the quote says, first for function, then for aesthetic. They used math to construct it in a way that was pleasing to the eye based on it measurements and symmetry. I think the quote reiterates the fact that the Greek put a lot of thought into their architecture. If they didn't care, they wouldn't have made it artistic and purposeful.
