Americans have been fighting over how to create congressional districts since 1789. That was when James Madison was elected to the House of Representatives although his Virginia district was created to give his opponent the advantage. Madison went on to become president of the United States, as did his opponent in that election, James Monroe. On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court released a decision in the latest congressional redistricting dispute. Redistricting is the process of redefining congressional districts on a map. Voters within each district elect a representative to the U.S. Congress. The court rejected two congressional districts in the state of North Carolina. The court said race played too large a part in how the districts were created.
