Excerpt from The Wisconsin Gerrymanders of 1891 and 1892: A Chapter in State Constitutional History

Eight days later the petition of the District Attorney of Adams county was filed, setting forth specifically the wrongs of which the complaint was made. On the day following, the security for costs was furnished by Adams county; on the twenty-first, the attorney-general notified the attorney for the petitioner that application has been made to the Supreme Court to begin an action for the purposes prayed for in its petition; and on the second of February the court granted leave to bring suit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of government apportionment in the United States. It focuses specifically on an apportionment act from 1891 in the state of Wisconsin. The author explores the act's unconstitutionality and the violation of the concept of equal representation for all citizens. The text makes clear that apportioning representation is a balancing act of the interests of the state with the rights of individual citizens. Within this context, the author explores the history of gerrymandering, its negative effects, and the importance of the courts in protecting the right to equal representation. Through a close examination of the 1891 Wisconsin Apportionment Act, the book reveals the profound significance of fair representation in preserving the integrity of democracy.
