Question

If you were a member of congress,would you tend to vote as a delegate or as a trustee?explain your answer

Answer 1

Political philosophers have suggested that representatives can choose to behave as delegates or as trustees, A delegate is a representative who votes consistently with the desires of the majority he represents, while a trustee is a representative who votes based on what he believes. I would mix both approaches, voting as a delegate in some cases and as a trustee in others.
