Definición
- Baker v. Carr was the first in a series of Supreme Court cases, largely decided in the 1960s, that fundamentally changed the way voters were represented in state legislatures and, later, the U.S. Congress. The cases led to the now-famous declaration of “one person, one vote.” The Baker decision arose out of a challenge in Tennessee from state residents who argued that rural areas were vastly overrepresented in the legislature compared to city and suburban areas.
