Answer from: Pinkywoo

The correct answer to this question is B: the intentional drawing of district lines to influence voter power

Further Explanation:

Named after former Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry, who drew deeply political boundaries in MA in 1812, Gerrymandering refers to the redrawing of political boundaries to give one party an advantage over another. This is usually done by drawing boundaries to isolate the opposition party and to keep them from having a fair shot in all districts. Prominent modern examples include gerrymandering by the Republican party in North Carolina and by the Democratic party in Maryland. The Supreme Court has not fully addressed the legality of this issue.

Answer from: Quest

What does this mean ? ?

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.
