question 13
when a legislature draws legislative districts for their own benefit, it is called
a gerrymandering.
b. apportionment
c. redistricting.
d. devolution.
Gerrymandering is the practice of manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts to favor a particular political party or group. Apportionment is the distribution of seats in a legislative body. Redistricting is the process of redrawing district boundaries, which can be done fairly or for political gain (gerrymandering). Devolution is the transfer of power from a central government to local or regional governments. Since the question is about a legislature drawing districts for its own benefit, gerrymandering is the correct term.
