gerrymandering and fair representation
"Gerrymandering and fair representation" can be defined as the relationship between manipulating electoral district boundaries for political advantage (gerrymandering) and the principle of ensuring equitable and unbiased representation of citizens (fair representation). Gerrymandering involves drawing district lines in a way that favors one political party or group over another, potentially distorting the democratic process. Fair representation, on the other hand, strives to create electoral systems and district boundaries that accurately reflect the preferences and diversity of the population. Striking a balance between these two concepts is crucial for upholding democratic principles and promoting an inclusive society.
