D) states must provide lawyers to poor criminal defendants

Respuesta :

The correct answer is B) state legislative districts must be equal in population

This is a famous case from 1964 where it was proven that state legislature has to be changed as the population changes, which was not the case until then.

The answer is:  B) state legislative districts must be equal in population

According to the court, legislative districts are responsible in handling the majority of legal problems that is faced by the citizens.  If the population in a certain state is larger, the number of court employees needed would also be larger to accommodate all the citizens.
