Before the landmark Supreme Court case Wesberry v. Sanders in 1964, congressional districts in many states were drawn without much regard for equal population representation. Instead, districts were often drawn based on political considerations and gerrymandering tactics, allowing for unequal representation and potentially disenfranchising some voters. Wesberry v. Sanders established the principle of "one person, one vote," requiring that congressional districts be drawn to have roughly equal populations to ensure more equitable representation.
