Question

The Baker v. Carr (1962) Supreme Court case established that federal courts have the power to determine A. who is allowed to immigrate to the U.S. B. people's right to smoke inside buildings. C. the legality of a state's voting districts. D. the rights of foreign tourists in the U.S.

Answer 1

C. The legality of a state's voting districts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Baker v. Carr originated from a redistricting dispute in Tennessee, which had not redistricted since 1901. Previously, the Supreme Court refused to hear cases that were political in nature; however, the Court held that redistricting cases were justiciable (in other words, it could be heard by the Court) under a doctrine it had created to determine whether a case presented a political issue.
