Define redistricting. Who is responsible for redistricting in the states?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What is a waiver in relation to adopting new state laws?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

[miss.ashley]

Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
Redistricting is the action of a state legislature or other body in redrawing legislative electoral district lines. About a dozen states delegate these responsibilities to independent redistricting or reapportionment commissions.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response would be:
In some cases, governors need to negotiate with federal agencies for a waiver, an agreement by a federal agency to permit a state to implement a state law that would otherwise conflict with federal law.
