The instructed delegate model

Question 52 options:

A. is more descriptive of the United States Senate.

B. is concerned with following the current public opinion.

C. is independent of constituent wishes.

D. allows less accountability.

The correct answer is B.

The instructed delegate model takes place within a representative democracy when constituents (rightful voters from a specific voting district) elect their representatives and these can only act of their behalf, hence giving voice to their proposals, with no autonomony, and acting only according to the desires of the represented ones.

Such approach can be problematic because of the dificulty of translating the claims of a specific collective into speficic proposals that reflect the common opinion on every issue, (already assuming that the whole collective shares the same thoughts).
