The correct answer is: When redistricting occurs, political groups try to shape electoral districts so that their parties have an advantage.

The word “gerrymander” is dated on 1812, in a political cartoon drawn to parody Massachusetts Governor Elbridge Gerry’s who re-drew Senate districts. The cartoon depicts one of the districts, as a fork-tongued mounstrous salamander. Since then, it has been increasingly used as a tool to reposition the electorate distribution. Redistricting arranges states and electorate who live there into geographical territories, but gerrymandering manipulates these districts  boundaries. As in the parody described above, gerrymandering will alter and shape electoral districts for a particular party or political group, locating it in an advantageous position.

Answer:

The only time I believe it should be permissible for the rights of an individual to infringe on the rights of a group is when that group is doing any kind of wrongdoing such as harming another person, or a person's happiness or property.  You shouldn't have any right to affect another's group rights or decision unless it causes harm or indirect harm.

Which claim is not defensible?
Lostsunrise [7]
<span>"The world would be better off if political boundaries didn't exist" is an indefensible claim. The others can be proven or at least debated over because at some point in time all of them have true and false. For instance, the majority of congress and the President have been from the same political party. Also, the majority of congress and the President have NOT been from the same political party. Therefore, you can compare the difference between true and false. Political boundaries have always existed. As a result, you cannot comfortably compare it to anything else.</span>
