As the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States intensified in the late 1940s and early 1950s, hysteria over the perceived threat posed by Communists in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. (Communists were often referred to as “Reds” for their allegiance to the red Soviet flag.) The Red Scare led to a range of actions that had a profound and enduring effect on U.S. government and society. Federal employees were analyzed to determine whether they were sufficiently loyal to the government, and the House Un-American Activities Committee, as well as U.S. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, investigated allegations of subversive elements in the government and the Hollywood film industry. The climate of fear and repression linked to the Red Scare finally began to ease by the late 1950s.

Which statement describes an example of gerrymandering

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The option that best describes gerrymandering is Option C. Districts are drawn to make sure that they favor candidates from one political party.

Explanation:

The term gerrymandering is named after Elbridge Gerry, who signed a bill creating a partisan district so he could win as the Governor of Massachusetts in 1812. It is alleged that lawmakers use their power sometimes to redraw district lines against what are called "majority-minority districts." In elections, such districts where the minority is in the majority can affect election outcomes as minority group voters like African Americans or Hispanic Americans vote against the more conventional, status quo candidates and incumbents.
