Answers
Answer:
Before the Age of Enlightenment, the people had no representation. The monarchy or dictator did whatever they wanted.
Enter the French and American revolutions, built around the writings of John Locke and others.
Representation became the most important benefit of a representative government because individual citizens, or groups of citizens, are given a voice in their national political system.
In the United States, there are three branches of government;
Executive: The President, who signs legislation into law, issued executive orders and is and Commander in Chief.
Legislative: Congress, which is split into 2 equal bodies, the House and the Senate, and is mainly responsible for the creation of laws.
Judicial; The Supreme Court, is responsible for interpreting the Constitution and limit the powers of the other branches of government.
The Legislative Branch is the part of the federal government that provides representation for the people. For legislation to pass, both the House and the Senate must vote in favor of the legislation.
The Senate has 100 members, 2 from each State. Those elected officials represent the people of the State in which they are elected.
The House of Representatives has 435 members. Those elected officials are based on one member from each of the 435 districts located in the 50 states, based on population.
As an example, California has 2 Senators and 53 Representatives. Although both Senators could vote for a particular piece of legislation, the 53 representatives could vote against it.
Each district and each State has representation.
It is the means to avoid government tyranny and also, as a representative democracy, the means to avoid ‘tyranny of the majority’ in a direct democracy.
