a) Identify the constitutional clause that is common to both Shaw v. Reno and Easley v. Cromartie.

b) Based on the constitutional clause identified in part A, explain why the facts elucidated in Easley v. Cromartie might have led to a different holding than the holding in Shaw v. Reno.

c) Describe an action that members of the public who disagree with the holding in Easley v. Cromartie could take to limit its impact.

Answer:

a. The Equal Protection Clause is a clause from the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The clause provides that "nor shall any State [...] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws".

Its purpose is to apply substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War. Hence, in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), Supreme Court held that redistricting based on race must be held to a standard of strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause while bodies doing redistricting must be conscious of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.

While in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001), Supreme Court held that the State violated the Equal Protection Clause in drawing the 1997 boundaries was based on clearly erroneous findings.

b. In the case of Easley v. Cromartie, an appeal from the decision given in hunt v. Cromartie was filed in the supreme court of the United States by Easley. In hunt v. Cromartie, the court held that the legislature of North Carolina did not use the factor of race while drawing the boundaries in the twelfth congressional district,1992. It was held by the court that the legislature did not violate the equal protection clause of the constitution and no evidence to prove that legislature set its boundaries on a racial basis rather than a political basis.

 In Easley v Cromartie the appeal was that drawing the boundaries for voting violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. The supreme court of the United States held that the decision of the district court is erroneous because it actually relied upon racial factors and this is not in the interest of the state.

In Shaw v. Reno the court concluded that the plan of North Carolina tried to segregate the voters on the basis of race.

Answer: A.) Its purpose is to apply substantially more constitutional restrictions against the states than had applied before the Civil War. Hence, in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), Supreme Court held that redistricting based on race must be held to a standard of strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause while bodies doing redistricting must be conscious of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act. While in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001), Supreme Court held that the State violated the Equal Protection Clause in drawing the 1997 boundaries was based on clearly erroneous findings. Its goal is to impose significantly more constitutional limitations on the states than existed prior to the Civil War. Therefore, the Supreme Court ruled in Shaw v. Reno, 509 U.S. 630 (1993), that racial redistricting must be subject to strict scrutiny under the equal protection clause and that the bodies responsible for redistricting must be aware of race to the extent that they must ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act. While the Supreme Court found that the State violated the Equal Protection Clause in defining the 1997 borders was based on patently false conclusions in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, 532 U.S. 234 (2001).

B.) Easley filed an appeal with the US Supreme Court in the case of Easley v. Cromartie, challenging the ruling in Hunt v. Cromartie. In the case of Hunt v. Cromartie, the court determined that the North Carolina legislature did not consider race when establishing the borders of the twelfth congressional district in 1992. The court ruled that there was no proof that the legislature had violated the equal protection article of the constitution or that it had drawn boundaries based on race rather than politics. In Easley v Cromartie the argument was that establishing the borders for voting violated the equal protection clause of the constitution. The United States Supreme Court ruled that the lower court's ruling was incorrect because it genuinely relied on racial issues, which is against the interests of the state. In Shaw v. Reno, the court found that North Carolina's voting strategy attempted to separate voters based on race.

c.) I think that a move that members of this court would disagree with the BLM (Black lives Matter) movement. This case, Easley v Cromartie has severe relations to the equal protection clause. This clause states, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." This clause when then debunked when later furthering the case, which is almost exactly what the BLM movement was about. Both cases disagreed with the equality of particular groups of people.
