Sam studied a Congressional apportionment map that reflected the number of members each state sends to the House of Representatives. We discussed the role of the census in Congressional apportionment, and then on the whiteboard I demonstrated the apportionment concepts of 'one man ,one vote" and gerrymandering as they apply to drawing district lines. Sam took good notes,asked good questions ,and made thoughtful comments .We then briefly discussed the role of congressional committees. For homework due Monday, Sam is competing as a take home exam the study guide questions on King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" and the US Supreme Court case of Shelby vs Holder.
