• place the earliest action at the top!

2 reapportionment
3 gerrymandering
4 redistricting

Explanation:

Question 1

1. The House of Representatives has members with 2 - year terms, 435 delegates (based on population - proportional representation). So 1 matches with b. House of Representatives.
2. The Senate has members with 6 - year terms, 100 delegates (2 per state - equal representation). So 2 matches with a. Senate.

The process of creating a Congressional district starts with the Census (to count the population). Then Reapportionment (allocating seats in the House of Representatives among states based on census data). Next is Redistricting (drawing district boundaries). Finally, Gerrymandering (manipulating district boundaries for political gain, which can happen during redistricting). So the order from earliest to latest is Census, Reapportionment, Redistricting, Gerrymandering.

Answer:

1. b. House of Representatives
2. a. Senate
