What are some statements describing Earl Warren's reasoning in the Baker v Carr case?

Answer 1

Baker v. Carr, (1962) was the first of a series of Supreme Court cases of the early 60s that established the federal judiciary's right to determine the constitutionality of legislative districting within a state (the allocation of state and federal representatives to voters).

Justice William Brennan was the driving force behind the decision in Baker v. Carr, not Chief Justice Earl Warren.

Brennan believed the case rested on the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause, which allowed the federal courts to hear the case.
