| Summary |
As the U.S. becomes more politically divided, gerrymandering is at the forefront of political debate. While manipulating distinct boundaries for political advantages has largely negative connotations, few experts agree about the best way to redraw districts. In this collection, legal experts, politicians, experts, and ordinary citizens weigh in on this controversial topic. Guided reading questions are included after each article to direct readers to form their own opinions. |
