Question
the boundaries of congressional districts of the united states are
drawn to cross over state boundaries
redrawn every ten years
redrawn whenever a member of congress feels his or her constituency has changed
redrawn after every presidential election
set according to a process by the writers of the united states constitution
To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:
- Congressional districts' boundaries do not cross state lines (so "drawn to cross over state boundaries" is wrong).
- Congressional districts are redrawn every ten years, after the census (which is conducted every decade) to account for population changes. This matches the option "redrawn every ten years".
- They are not redrawn based on a congressperson's perception of constituency change (the highlighted option is incorrect).
- They are not redrawn after every presidential election (presidential elections are every 4 years, census every 10).
- The Constitution doesn't set the process for drawing district boundaries directly in terms of the frequency here (the last option is incorrect).
