In this video Heimler walks you through another required Supreme Court case for AP Government, namely, Shaw v. Reno. This is a case about gerrymandering (not partisan gerrymandering, but racial gerrymandering). Specifically, it's a case about two legislative districts drawn in North Carolina which were created specifically to elect black candidates to the legislature. Even though the districts were drawn to help historically marginalized people, the Court ruled that drawing districts based on race alone set a dangerous precedent and therefore was a violation of the 14th amendment.
