Description
Proposition 6 was approved by the voters of California in June of 1980. Although its language is fairly straightforward, this simplicity belies a long history of reapportionment law on the state and federal levels. Furhter, it is the product of fifteen years' struggle in the courts of California and the country. Because Proposition 6 still leaves some terms undefined, more struggles may follow. This paper attempts to put proposition 6 in the context of reapportionment history and to anticipate some of the conflicts to come.
