Answer: Displacement

Explanation: Displacement could be referred to as a defense mechanism which involves the transfer of aggression, emotion or tension from the source to a target, the target usually is a less threatening target.

Vikentia [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The intended consequences decision was the following.

I was very aware that if I committed myself to study and work hard, I had a real chance to overcome my bad situation in school, and I could change the wrong perception my teachers had about my behavior. I knew I had to show a totally different picture of me and my work, as the kind of attitude I show at the beginning of the semester.

The decision I made that had unintended consequences was when I decided to work last summer in a fitness club as a clerk, just to make a few extra dollars and not stay at home being lazy. The unindented consequence was that the company was in the marketing and promotion period and they thought that I could be part of the marketing and advertising campaign, participation in some of the promotional videos. Just by working there and being a dedicated employee, they invited me to do some advertising and I ended up earning some more money that I invested to pay school.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

(B) Led to the "one-person, one-vote" judicial doctrine - Prohibited oddly-shaped majority-minority districts

Explanation:

Baker v. Carr (1961) is a Supreme Court case concerning equality in voting districts. Decided in 1962, the ruling established the standard of "one person, one vote" and opened the door for the Court to rule on districting cases.

Shaw v. Reno (1993) In 1991, a group of white voters in North Carolina challenged the state's new congressional district map, which had two “majority-minority” districts. The group claimed that the districts were racial gerrymanders that violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  In its 1993 decision, the Supreme Court agreed, ruling that race cannot be the predominant factor in creating districts.
