In the start of this 3 part series, I did some interesting research back to about 1850 to find accounts about gerrymandering to discuss how it's always been a problem, the odd problems it created as civil rights and big data come into the picture, and how the SCOTUS just decided to open the floodgates of reverse racism and partisan line drawing like never before. I suggest this is a further eroding democracy. Important to convey, this is one of many problems facing American and, by-in-large, contemporary liberal democracies but this is one of my areas where knowledge and concern intersect.

Parts 2 and 3 will continue with the rule of law and civil society.
