Members of congress can either serve as a trustee or delegate. A delegate is a representative who votes according to the wishes of his or her constituents (voters within their district), while a trustee exercises his own judgment.
- Do you believe members of congress should vote exactly as their constituents would like them to or do you believe there are times when a representative should ignore the wants of voters and create laws based on their own values and what they feel is the best decision?
- Is it important for Congress to look like America?
- Can people who do not look like us actually represent us?
- Do women have to be represented by women or Hispanics by Hispanics?
