Supreme Court Rules State Legislatures Must Be Apportioned by Population
The Supreme Court ruled that state legislative seats in both houses must be apportioned by population, striking down unconstitutional two-house systems in six states and threatening similar changes in up to 40 others. Governors reacted with mixed anger and acceptance, while officials prepared for possible special sessions and legal conferences to implement reapportionment. Chief Justice Warren authored the majority, and states awaited guidance on timing and method ahead of elections.
