Dvesto rokov gerrymanderingu v USA
Two hundred years of gerrymandering in the USA

Summary/Abstract: The study analyzes the process of electoral districts delimitation. The main focus is on gerrymandering – the practice attempting to establish geographic boundaries to create partisan advantage in the electoral process. The term Gerrymander originated in 1812, when the Massachusetts Legislature divided the County of Essex into two senatorial districts to dilute the strength of the opposing party. The study emphasizes the history of gerrymandering, its goals and the Supreme Court’s decisions dealing with manipulative redistricting process.
