scintilla of evidence rule
scintilla of evidence rule 微弱证据规则 普通法上的一项规则。指案件中只要有任何的证据，即使很微弱，也可产生一定的法律后果：１如果这些微弱的证据倾向于支持案件中的某一实质性争议，只要这些证据不是模糊的、不确定的、与案件不相关的事实，那么案件必须交由陪审团审理并作出裁决；２如果案件中的证据很微弱，但能够支持一方当事人的主张，则法庭不得对该案作出简易判决。至于什么样的证据才算微弱证据，各法院的认定并不一致，且目前美国多数司法区的法院已摒弃了这一规则。

one man-one vote rule
one man-one vote rule 〈美〉一人一票制 基于代议制政府平等代表原则产生的立法机关席位分配规则。该规则要求在选举立法机关时，议员席位应按人口比例分配，任何人都不能行使比其他人更大的投票权，或者说，每个投票人的一票都应当等值。由于人口不断变化，美国宪法规定每十年进行一次人口普查，如果有必要得根据新的普查结果重新分配议席。该规则是美国最高法院1963年确立的，以后成为审查立法机关名额重新分配的方案的合宪性的准则。法院严格控制联邦立法机关选举区之间人口代表比例的差异，原则上要求同等数量的人口选出同等数目的议员。由于难以实现绝对的等量，法院容许最大选区与理想的标准选区之间存在极小的差别。该规则适用于联邦众议院议席的分配，不适用于联邦参议院。参议院由每州选派两名代表，而不是根据各州人口分配。在州立法机关的选区划分上，法院对这一规则的适用相对宽松一点，容许选区与现存政治区划(比如县的划分)相一致。
