dc.description.abstractThe Supreme Court's decision in Baker v. Carr promises to be one of the most important of the century. Like the segregation decisions, it brings constitutional principles and judicial institutions to the solution of one of the fundamental problems of American society. Unlike the decisions in the Smith and McCarran Act cases, which have no future in the democratic process, it moves broadly in the direction of developing and supporting procedures necessary for the effective operation of a modern democratic system. The decision is of interest and significance on various levels. The major ones are (1) its importance in terms of legal doctrine; (2) its bearing on the actual solution of the malapportionment problem; and (3) its broader implications concerning the role of law and legal institutions in the democratic process.
