(Ans. #1)

An ideal response will:
1, Explain that the process of redrawing congressional districts is an effort to reflect increases or decreases in seats in the House of Representatives.
2, Assesses that in most cases, redistricting has been used as a partisan tool by the incumbent majority to create voting districts favorable to their reelection. Gerrymandering is a term given for this sort of partisan district creation. Packing and cracking describe whether district lines are drawn to give electoral favor to a particular group of constituents (packing), or to divide a block of opposition constituents (cracking).
3, Make note of attempts at positive gerrymandering, such as the creation of majority-minority districts to encourage the fair representation of politically disenfranchised minority groups. Note the efforts of some states to make redistricting less political by outsourcing the drawing of district boundaries to private firms.
4, Make an argument based on previous statements as to the efficacy of these solutions.
