{"product_id":"representative-democracy-michael-l-mezey-9780742547698","title":"Representative Democracy: Legislators and their Constituents","description":"Although we tend to use the terms \"representative democracy\" and \"democracy\" as synonyms, they are not. Democracy means that the people govern; representative democracy means that the people elect others to govern for them. This raises the question of the extent to which representative government approximates democracy, a question that turns on the relationship between representatives and those whom they represent. Rich in thoughtful analysis, \u003ci\u003eRepresentative Democracy\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates normative, empirical, and comparative perspectives on representation. It is perfectly suited for use in an upper-level course on the legislative process or Congress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael L.
