Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Reynolds v. Sims (377 U.S. 533) was a landmark 1964 United States Supreme Court decision in which the court applied the "one person, one vote" ruling from its previous cases against Alabama's severely malapportioned state legislative districts. The effect of this decision was to grant Alabama citizens equal representation in the state legislature.
