Question

civics chapter 5 section 1 homework assignment
what is gerrymandering?
when the president creates congressional districts
creating congressional districts based on land size instead of population
creating the boundaries of congressional districts to favor a political party

Explanation:

Gerrymandering is the practice of manipulating the boundaries of electoral districts (here, Congressional Districts) to give a political advantage to a particular party. The first option is incorrect as the President doesn't create Congressional Districts. The second option is incorrect as districts are based on population (per apportionment), not land size. The third option matches the definition of gerrymandering.

Answer:

C. Creating the boundaries of Congressional Districts to favor a political party (where C corresponds to the third option: "Creating the boundaries of Congressional Districts to favor a political party")
