What effect would you expect the 1964 Supreme Court case, Wesberry v. Sanders, to have on the likelihood of a group of small rur

Anna007 [38]

Wesberry v. Sanders, 376 U.S. 1 (1964), was a U.S. Supreme Court case involving U.S. Congressional districts in the state of Georgia. The Court issued its ruling on February 17, 1964. This decision requires each state to draw its U.S. Congressional districts so that they are approximately equal in population.

Nationally, this decision effectively reduced the representation of rural districts in the U.S. Congress. Particularly, the Court held that the population differences among Georgia's congressional districts were so great as to violate the Constitution.

In reaching this landmark decision, the Supreme Court asserted that Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitutionrequires that representatives shall be chosen "by the People of the several States" and shall be "apportioned among the several States...according to their respective Numbers...." These words, the Court held, mean that "as nearly as practicable one man's vote in a congressional election is to be worth as much as another's."

Wesberry and the Court's later "one person, one vote" decisions had an extraordinary impact on the makeup of the House, on the content of public policy, and on electoral politics in general. However, these "one person, one vote" rules do not prevent and have not prevented gerrymandering.

A related case, Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964), held that seats in both houses of a bicameral state legislaturemust also, to satisfy the Equal Protection Clause, represent districts as equal in population as practicably possible. The federal Senate was unaffected since the Constitution explicitly grants each state two senators.

Which of the following was NOT an indicator of prosperity in the 1920s?

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Inflation rose to 10%

Explanation:

The Roaring Twenties was a period of economic boom and prosperity in the United States of America and Europe. This was just after the World War I that ended in 1918.

An indicator of prosperity in the 1920s includes the following;

I. Unemployment was 3.7: an unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The lower the rate of unemployment, the higher the employed rate and vice-versa.

II. Wages was up: this simply means that the minimum amount of money (wages) received by the employees increased.

III. GDP rose: Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.

Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.

However, an inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.

This ultimately implies that, inflation can never be an indication of prosperity in any country's economy.
