Answer:

Legislators are meant to enlarge and refine the public will.

Explanation:

A lot of bias would be accumulated if legislators act as their constituents, because they cannot know what everybody wants without a proper vote. As representative as Congress is, it would not make sense to let them think like the people, and let them make decisions as if they were the people. A European enlightenment philosopher known as Thomas Hobbes claims that humans are arrogant, and the government cannot trust them as they always think that they are correct. However, a more efficient part of the government (the senate) would be better at doing a job more "correctly." A position of government should be looked at as a service, not a job. However, because of the 2 party system, government officials are favoring their respective parties, instead of favoring the people as a whole.
