Question

Write short note on ' One person, One vote'.

Answer 1

Answer:

One man, one vote (or one person, one vote) is a slogan used by advocates of political equality through various electoral reforms such as universal suffrage, proportional representation, or the elimination of plural voting, malapportionment, or gerrymandering.

The British trade unionist George Howell used the phrase "one man, one vote" in political pamphlets in 1880.During the 20th-century period of decolonisation and the struggles for national sovereignty, from the late 1940s onwards this phrase became widely used in developing countries where majority populations sought to gain political power in proportion to their numbers.[citation needed] The slogan was notably used by the anti-apartheid movement during the 1980s, which sought to end white minority rule in South Africa

In the United States, the "one person, one vote" principle was invoked in a series of cases by the Warren Court in the 1960s.

Applying the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution, the Supreme Court majority opinion (5-4) led by Chief Justice Earl Warren in Reynolds v. Sims (1964) ruled that state legislatures, unlike the United States Congress, needed to have representation based on districts containing roughly equal populations, with redistricting as needed after censuses.

In addition, the court ruled in Wesberry v. Sanders (1964) that states must also draw federal congressional districts containing roughly equal represented populations.
