The type of gerrymandering that took place in north Carolina 12th congressional district was an example of affirmative Gerrymandering. Its specific goal was to create a district with an African American majority with the purpose of giving this community of interest greater representation.

Gerrymandering is a practice which aims to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries.

The term gerrymandering has negative connotations.

A US district court ruled earlier this week that North Carolina’s partisan gerrymandered congressional districts were unconstitutional, raising the very real possibility that new maps might need to be drawn mere weeks before the 2018 House elections.

New districts would likely be a boon for Democrats: Though North Carolina is evenly or nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, Republicans currently hold 10 of the state’s 13 House seats. In their quest for a House majority, even one or two newly competitive seats in North Carolina would be a major boost to Democrats’ chances of taking over at least one chamber of Congress.

But first, state officials and the courts need to figure out if drawing new districts is even possible in such a short time and whether the congressional elections might need to be delayed in order to accommodate the court-ordered redistricting. Looming over all of it is the US Supreme Court, which could put a stay on the lower court’s decision and bring the whole mad dash to an end very quickly.

North Carolina Republican leaders accused the federal court’s decision of introducing “unmitigated chaos” to the state’s 2018 elections — and while they are surely peeved at the thought of losing congressional seats, they aren’t wrong in thinking the court has upended the 2018 landscape in North Carolina and nationwide.

Which statement best summarizes both the rise of capitalism and growing criticism of the system during the 19th century?
Vesna [10]

The correct answer is C) Capitalism developed as an alternative to inefficient mercantilist policies, but it drew criticism for increasing the gap between the rich and poor.

Mercantilism and capitalism are two very different economic systems. Mercantilism is a system which relies on one country developing a favorable balance of trade and obtaining valuable resources from a colony. This was the system used when America was still controlled by Great Britain.

As America gained independence, they focused on developing a more capitalist society. This society is based on individual freedom, as citizens can decide what they buy. Along with this, American businesses and citizens are not forced to trade with one specific country.
