Answer:

Delegate

Explanation:

The delegate model of representation is a model of a representative democracy. In this model, constituents elect their representatives as delegates for their constituency. These delegates act only as a mouthpiece for the wishes of their constituency/ state and have no autonomy from the constituency only the autonomy to vote for the actual representatives of the state. This model does not provide representatives the luxury of acting in their own conscience and is bound by imperative mandate. Essentially, the representative acts as the voice of those who are (literally) not present.

This model was contested by Edmund Burke (1729-1797), an Irish philosopher, who also created the trustee model of representation.

Delegate model of representation is made use of in various forms of council democracy and commune democracy (more recent example is Parpolity proposed by Stephen Shalom) and liquid democracy. Models of democratic rule making extensive use of delegate model of representation are often labeled delegative democracy.

Gas is scarce has it does not exist in infinite quantities and requires resources to be converted from oil in the ground to gas.</span>

Alina [70]

Answer: D. No, because the state owns and operates the metal plant.

Explanation:

The State owns and operates the plants and so is allowed to discriminate against non residents.

This principle was established by the United States Supreme Court in Reeves, Inc. v. Stake, 447 U.S. 429 (1980).

In the judgement, the Court held that South Dakota had a right to give it's residents preferential treatment in buying cement from a state owned plant.
