Florida Civic Literacy Exam (FCLE) | Baker v. Carr (1962) STUDY THIS for the FCLE #civicliteracy

Summary

Episode 10: In this episode of the FCLE Seminar podcast, host Mercedes Musto discusses the landmark Supreme Court case Baker v. Carr (1962), which addressed the issue of legislative reapportionment in Tennessee. The case arose due to the state's failure to update its legislative districts since 1901, leading to unequal representation between rural and urban areas. The Supreme Court ruled that federal courts could intervene in state legislative apportionment, establishing the principle of 'one person, one vote' and reinforcing the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The discussion highlights the implications of this ruling on American politics and the importance of fair representation.
