Answer:

“The working poor” are working people whose job does not bring them enough money. As these jobs are often considered essential, they are more likely to get ill at the time, and not have adequate medical care. In the time of the pandemic, they also can’t negotiate working conditions and wages and are forces by circumstances to work, risk their health and life, and be underpaid.

Explanation:

“The Working poor” are people who do have the job, but they are still poor as the work they perform doesn’t pay enough to cover rational life expenses. The work these people do is usually difficult, either manual, physical work, work with long hours and without a weekend or work in the various bad conditions.

During the pandemic, the need for work became high, while prices started rising. Many people become unemployed, but as they need to support themselves and their families, they will take on the underpaid job. In a time of global crisis, it is unlikely people will be able to negotiate for better wages and working conditions.

Additionally, “working poor” are often considered essential workers (working in retail, production, delivery, cleaning, etc). They can’t work at home and are in more immediate danger to get ill. Their jobs often don’t cover the adequate health insurance they need, they are unable to take a paid leave and therefore are in greater life danger.

A) Identify the constitutional clause that is common to both Shaw v. Reno and Easley v. Cromartie.

eduard

Answer:

a. The Equal Protection Clause is a clause from the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause provides that "nor shall any State [...] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

Its purpose is to apply substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War. Hence, in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), Supreme Court held that redistricting based on race must be held to a standard of strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause while bodies doing redistricting must be conscious of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.

While in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001), Supreme Court held that the State violated the Equal Protection Clause in drawing the 1997 boundaries was based on clearly erroneous findings.

b. In the case of Easley v. Cromartie, an appeal from the decision given in hunt v. Cromartie was filed in the supreme court of the United States by Easley. In hunt v. Cromartie, the court held that the legislature of North Carolina did not use the factor of race while drawing the boundaries in the twelfth congressional district,1992. It was held by the court that the legislature did not violate the equal protection clause of the constitution and no evidence to prove that legislature set its boundaries on a racial basis rather than a political basis.

In Easley v Cromartie the appeal was that drawing the boundaries for voting violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. The supreme court of the United States held that the decision of the district court is erroneous because it actually relied upon racial factors and this is not in the interest of the state.

In Shaw v. Reno the court concluded that the plan of North Carolina tried to segregate the voters on the basis of race.
