Pretest

Question 6 • United States History

In 2019, the Supreme Court ordered the state of North Carolina to redraw gerrymandered voting districts. Which case set a precedent for this order?

Answer
A
Bush v. Gore
B
Citizens United v. FEC
C
Baker v. Carr
D
Abbot v. Perez

Explanation

Baker v. Carr established that federal courts can hear challenges to how voting districts are drawn, rather than treating redistricting as entirely a political matter. That precedent made it possible for courts to review claims that districts violated constitutional voting rights. Citizens United concerns campaign spending, Bush v. Gore concerned the 2000 election recount, and Abbott v. Perez addressed Texas district maps.
