1. The quotation relates to a. the apportionment in the House.

Explanation: The quotation states that members of the House of Representatives are chosen by the people of each state every second year. It also mentions that the electors in each state must have the same qualifications as electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature. This refers to the process of apportioning representatives based on the population of each state.

2. The best solution to the problem of gerrymandering is likely a bipartisan committee to redraw district lines because b. if it was solved by the party in power, when they lost power, the other party would reverse their actions.

Explanation: Gerrymandering refers to the manipulation of district boundaries for political advantage. By having a bipartisan committee responsible for redrawing district lines, it helps reduce the chances of one party unfairly manipulating the boundaries to their advantage. The inclusion of both parties ensures a fairer and more balanced approach, preventing one party from reversing the actions taken by the other when they gain power. This solution promotes impartiality and helps to address concerns regarding the fairness of electoral districts.
