What are the two major problems of redistricting, and how have they been solved (or not)?

What will be an ideal response?

Malapportionment is defined as districts of unequal population in the same state. Supreme Court rulings in the 1960s outlawed this practice, requiring districts within each state to be divided on the basis of “one person, one vote.” Gerrymandering is the drawing of district lines to maximize seats for one party (or other voting bloc).
