11. The U.S. Census is taken every 10 year. If the census shows shifts in population, the legislature must redistrict. This means they must:
reassign some state senators in different districts
reduce the number of state senators by two
change the districts to reflect shifts in US Census population figures
increase the number of state assembly districts by one



Answer :

The correct answer is:

- Change the districts to reflect shifts in US Census population figures

When the U.S. Census shows changes in population, it is crucial for the legislature to redistrict. Redistricting involves adjusting the boundaries of electoral districts to ensure each district has a relatively equal number of residents based on the latest Census data. This process aims to maintain fair representation for all citizens. By changing the districts according to the population shifts identified in the Census, the legislature ensures that each district has a balanced number of residents to uphold the principle of "one person, one vote."
