The right answer is "Minority voters may have less influence based on the new boundaries of congressional districts."
Reapportionment refers to the process of redistributing seats in a legislative body, such as Congress, based on changes in population. It typically occurs after each census. In the United States, reapportionment can impact minority rights in various ways.
To arrive at the correct answer, you need to understand the effects of reapportionment. One possible effect is that minority voters may have less influence based on the new boundaries of congressional districts. This is because in some cases, the boundaries of districts may be redrawn in a way that dilutes the voting power of minority communities.
To reach this answer, you can eliminate the other responses by considering their inaccuracies or explaining how they may not be directly tied to reapportionment. For example, the first two responses suggest that minority voters may be less likely to vote based on changes to congressional representation, but they do not explicitly explain how reapportionment affects this. The third response correctly links reapportionment to population changes but does not specifically mention the impact on minority rights. Therefore, the correct answer is the fourth response, which directly addresses how reapportionment can reduce the influence of minority voters.
