CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING AND THE CONSTITUTION

Authors

Harold M. Bowman, Boston University Law School

Abstract

Is congressional redistricting by state legislatures an exercise of the lawmaking function, subject to the governor's veto power? Is fairness in such redistricting secured today either by federal statute or by the federal Constitution? Of these two questions, posed by recent events, the first has been completely answered; the second has been answered in part only -- breeding in its answer new and troublesome problems.
