Which of the following statements accurately summarizes the reasoning for the decision in baker v. carr (1962) ? because rural districts had fewer people, representation was unevenly distributed; thus, baker was denied equal protection under the law.
a to ensure equal protection under the law, there should be an equal number of rural and urban districts in a state.
b there should be redistricting every ten years at the federal level, but the state can choose not to redistrict at the state and local levels.
c congressional redistricting must involve traditionally excluded groups in the process or it violates the equal protection clause.
