The correct answer to this question is that traditionally,
congressional districts were redrawn to set up safe seats for the political
parties. Prior to the implementation of the Reapportionment Act of 1929, the
Republicans tried to seize over the presidency and both houses of Congress, so
that absolute rule would be exclusively through the Republicans and that no
Democrat would have any say over how to administer America. Clearly, this was a
very precarious move and so the Reapportionment Act of 1929 had to be passed so
that the state legislatures would draw between the district lines. The
law <span>created a permanent method for apportioning a stable 435
seats in the U.S. House of Representatives with accordance to each census.</span>
D. The Espionage and Sedition Acts.
Explanation:
President Woodrow Wilson passed the Espionage and Sedition Acts in 1917. With these acts, it was against the law and was considered a crime to criticize the United States by using abusive and vile language. You also could not interfere with the United States trying to defeat Germany by stating different opinions publicly.
With the United States' involvement in World War I, many did not agree with what was happening. Some people thought that the United States should have just stayed out of it altogether, which resulted in many proving to be disloyal to the United States and its cause.
The Espionage and Sedition Acts made it illegal to say such things about the United States. You could not interfere with the United States relations with Germany by saying certain opinions or saying anything that related to being disloyal to the United States.

If by "difference" you mean the difference with other Enlightenment thinkers who argued on behalf of the social contract, the main difference was Rousseau's emphasis on the GENERAL WILL of the people.
Along with other Enlightenment thinkers, Rousseau agreed with the idea of the social contract. (Indeed, that's the title of one of his most famous books.) The idea of a "social contract" is that the people agree to give authority to a government in order to make their lives in society better.
In his social contract theory, Rousseau insisted that that the PEOPLE of a nation are SOVEREIGN -- meaning that the people are always the ones who are to be deciding matters for their own society. Rousseau famously asserted that the "GENERAL WILL" of the people is always right, because the people on the whole have the best sense of what is needed for them as a society.
Some have criticized Rousseau's approach as promoting an unworkable view of government run completely by democratic referendum. But if you read his famous book, <em>The Social Contract, </em>you'll see his view of the "general will" is more nuanced than that. It isn't just a majority ballot sort of thing. For instance, in the 2016 presidential election in America, the "general will" that was most expressing itself was that the country wasn't greatly happy about either candidate running for the office of chief executive of the country. If Rousseau's "general will" principle had been put into action, the nation might have called for a new round of nominations to produce a candidate that could have pulled the nation together rather than divisive candidates and parties pulling the country in opposite directions.
