The idea of representative democracy means that citizens do not need to vote directly on political issues. They instead vote for representatives who they believe will best support their interests. In practice, however, citizens have little love for the inner workings of a representative democracy. The processes, for example, require debate and compromise, which citizens view as bickering and selling out respectively. Many citizens do not trust their government to do the right thing, and they feel that the legislative system as it operates currently is wide open to special interests but is not sensitive to issues that are actually important to the public. Which statement most accurately explains the author's position on debate and compromise in the legislative process?
