Question 7
Reapportionment is the process of redistributing seats in the House of Representatives based on population changes from the census. Redistribution is a broader term, gerrymandering is about district manipulation for partisan gain, and bicameralism is about a two - chamber legislature.
Gerrymandering is the practice of redrawing district lines to favor one political party. Redistribution is just redrawing lines (not necessarily for partisan gain), reapportionment is about seat distribution, and bicameralism is about the two - chamber system.
The 17th Amendment changed the election of senators from being chosen by state legislatures to being directly elected by the people. The 11th Amendment deals with state sovereign immunity, the 14th with citizenship and equal protection, and the 23rd with Washington D.C. electoral votes.
