Abstract

"A reapportionment plan that draws in persons, who may have very little in common but the color of their skin, bears an uncomfortable resemblance to political apartheid" (Rosenschein). Clearly, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor understood the weight of her decisions. With those words in mind, O'Connor along with the other eight Justices deliberated over the case of hunt v. cromartie. She delivered the aforementioned warning in the previous case of Shaw v. hunt, which established the basis and background for this trial. The appellee in hunt v. Comartie, cromartie, and his lawyers argued that the state of North Carolina had engaged in racial gerrymandering. On the other hand, Governor hunt and his team of lawyers insisted that the new district was an instance of political gerrymandering, a legal means to ensure their political party (Democrats) maintained a seat in the House of Representatives.
