Baker vs. Carr Explained

The video discusses the Baker v. Carr Supreme Court decision of 1962, which addressed the issue of unequal representation in Tennessee due to outdated district lines. Charles Baker challenged this under the 14th Amendment, leading to a landmark decision that established the principle of 'one man, one vote.' The case shifted the view from a political to a judicial question, impacting civil rights and leading to changes in how states draw district lines. The video also touches on modern implications, such as voter ID laws, and the potential for gerrymandering.
