Reapportionment can significantly impact minority rights in various ways. The most direct answer to how reapportionment impacts minority rights is:
**A. Minority voters may gain or lose congressional representation based on population changes.**
This option highlights how the redistribution of congressional seats based on population shifts can affect the representation of minority groups, potentially leading to either increased or decreased influence in political decision-making.
Additionally, options B and D also have merit in specific contexts. For instance, if minority voters are grouped into a singular district (B), it could dilute their influence if it leads to less competitive elections, whereas changes to district boundaries (D) might also limit their representation. Option C, while it may be related, doesn't directly address how reapportionment itself affects representation but rather the potential consequences of changes in representation on voter turnout.
Overall, A is the most comprehensive choice regarding the main implications of reapportionment on minority rights.
