The boundary lines of the congressional district are drawn by A the United States House of Representatives B the United States senate C state legislature D United States district courts

C state legislature

Explanation:

The boundaries of congressional districts are drawn by the state legislatures of each state, although there are some states with independent, non-partisan redistricting commissions, for example: Colorado, Michigan, and Arizona.

A problem arises with this system, and is that the party that controls the state legislature largely controls the redistricting process, leading to one of the most well-known political problems of the U.S.: gerrymandering: the drawing of congressional distrincts that heavily favor one party over the others.

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
