What is the best conclusion that can be drawn from this excerpt from the civil rights act of 1964? a) the federal government secured passage of this legislation because all of the states supported it. b) the federal government intended to put an end to segregation and discrimination in the united states. c) the southern states were successful in blocking the federal government from desegregating public facilities. d) the southern states were able to reach a compromise with northern republicans in order to secure passage of the act.

The correct answer is B. The federal government intended to put an end to segregation and discrimination in the United States.

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
