Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:South Carolina are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages.

Dissent
Reynolds v. Sims (1964) used flawed logic, i.e. the state government modeled after the federal government, as delineated in the US Constitution, was "unconstitutional". By direct extension the federal government itself fails this standard.

The clear conclusion is this was an example of raw judicial activism in an attempt to circumvent the slowness at which state governments change (rural areas tend to be much more conservative whereas population centers tend to be much more liberal).

Among the "tytannies" which the US founding fathers were concerned with were "tyranny of the judiciary" and "tyranny of the majority."

With this one decision, the SCOTUS enabled the latter while exercising the former. Origen7 (talk) 18:32, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
