Question 1 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

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

Explanation

Baker v. Carr (1962) established that federal courts can hear challenges to legislative districting when districts violate constitutional principles. That precedent allowed courts to review and order changes to unfairly drawn voting districts, making Baker v. Carr the correct choice. Citizens United concerns campaign spending, while Bush v. Gore concerned the 2000 presidential recount.
