The student wants to refute a claim that malapportionment in the Storting favors small urban districts. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
-
Malapportionment is the over- or underrepresentation (relative to population size) of electoral districts in a governing body.
-
It is a common feature of representative governments.
-
There are 169 seats in Norway’s supreme legislature (the Storting).
-
Seats are distributed by a formula that awards 1 point per resident and 1.8 points per unit of land.
-
Less populated rural districts with large tracts of land receive a disproportionate number of seats compared to more populated urban districts.
