The US Supreme Court ruled against the state of Tennessee in Baker vs. Carr because <u>Tennessee had not redistricted since 1901, keeping rural districts in power</u>. This implies the correct answer is B
Representation in the state legislature of Tennessee was determined by 1901 law. The 1901 law set the actual number of the legislature for all county. This law was later not in favor of urban areas because of the significant increase in population thereby resulted in underrepresentation.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>
In order to resolve this issue, a mayor of Nashville, Baker brought a suit before the US Supreme Court, saying that the then-existing law on apportionment denied eligible voters of highly populated areas the equal protection of the law as rightly stated by the 14th amendments.
Although, the case was dismissed initially by a District Court saying it lacked jurisdiction and that baker’s claim was not legitimate.
The U.S district court described the case a merely “political questions” that cannot be appropriately resolved by a court.
Baker’s approached the Supreme Court and the ruling of the district was reversed.
The Supreme Court ruled against the state of Tennessee and this ruling compelled the state of Tennessee legislature to reapportion itself based on the numbers of people that reside in a district.

Dear Dr. Remo;
The answer is B: clearly take a side.
A thesis statement is the main point or central message that writers include at the beginning of their writings since it explains the main ideas they are going to develop in the rest of the essay.
In every thesis statement not only does the writer include the topic of the essay but he/she also presents a comment or statement that tells the readers the writer’s position in relation to the topic being discussed; that is, if the writer is for or against the topic he/she is going to develop later.
In this thesis statement the writer has included the main idea that he/she is going to develop in the essay (that is, the effect too much television has on children), and he/she has also included the two opposite viewpoints regarding the topic. However, he/she has forgotten to include his/her opinion: Does he/she agree or not?
So, in order to improve this thesis, the writer must take a side.
In the body of the essay, the writer can include his/her reasons for being for or against the topic and he/she can even include quotes and statistics from different sources in order to support his/her ideas. They do not need to be included in the thesis statement.
2) as a preposition phrase hope this helped:)
