A citizen of California wishes to bring a case to the Supreme Court claiming that she is not entitled to equal protection under the law because her state, with a population of more than 39 million, has the same number of senators as Vermont, with a population of over 600,000. Is her argument constitutionally valid?

Question

a)No, because Supreme Court cases have established that equal protection does not apply to apportionment.

b)Yes, because the Supreme Court has found that the distribution of Senate seats must be apportioned by population.

c)Yes, because the Constitution creates a legislature whose apportionment of seats changes based on population fluctuations.

d)No, because the Constitution already provides for the disparities in population through the creation of a bicameral legislature.

is it d?

Answer 1

Yes, D.
