How should government meet the needs of its people?Lawmakers typically take one of four approaches when considering issues before them:
Delegates act as agents of the people who elected them and so cast their votes accordingly.
Trustees vote on issues based on merit; this means that they vote by following their own judgment.
Partisans vote according to what their political party wants.
Politicos try to combine elements of the other three as well as the political pressures of the time in casting their votes.
Rank the four basic approaches to representation from the one you would most like your own representatives in Congress to use to the one you would least like them to use.
