Gerrymandering definition:


Gerrymandering is the practice of setting boundaries of electoral districts to favor specific political interests within legislative bodies, often resulting in districts with convoluted, winding boundaries rather than compact areas. Gerrymandering in the United States has been used as early as 1788 to increase the power of a political party; the term "gerrymandering" was coined on review of Massachusetts's redistricting maps of 1812 set by Governor Elbridge Gerry, so named for its resemblance to a salamander.

Answer:

Gerrymandering is when a political group tries to change a voting district to create a result that helps them or hurts the group who is against them. Gerrymandering works by wasting votes.

andre [41]

Answer:

I think I am a great person but I have flaws like everybody else. I try my hardest to be kind to others and help people the best that I can. Things get rough sometimes but I am great and pushing through it. My past (mainly talking about last school year) wasnt the best, I focused on other peoples opinions rather than my own. Sometimes people like to bring up my past but I brush it off because I am an amazing person now. I have learned to surround myself with less toxic people who actually make me happy. Ide like to say I am a unique person and am fun to be around. I do not seek validation from others. I love almost everything about myself and learned to embrace my flaws rather than drag myself for them.  I like to think that I am an attractive person. I think that if people are going to talk about me it is their loss because I am great and they just seek validation. I am confident and an extrovert who likes to be around people. Overall, Ide say I am a good human being.
