Marshall v. Hare
Supreme Court of the United States · Decided June 22, 1964 · Clark, Michigan, Sims
378 U.S. 561; 84 S. Ct. 1912; 12 L. Ed. 2d 1036; 1964 U.S. LEXIS 847 (United States Reports)

Marshall v. Hare

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The judgment below is reversed. Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533; Lucas v. Forty-Fourth General Assembly of Colorado, 377 U. S. 713. The case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with the views stated in our opinions in Reynolds v. Sims and in the other cases relating to state legislative apportionment decided along with Reynolds.

Mr. Justice Clark and Mr. Justice Stewart would affirm the judgment because the Michigan system of legislative apportionment is clearly a rational one and clearly does not frustrate effective majority rule. Mr. Justice Harlan dissents for the reasons stated in his dissenting opinion in Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U. S. 533, 589.
