Democratic governance in the United States is supposed to be representwtice governance. how are they ket institutions of American politics- congress, the presidency, the bureaucracy, and the courts- ‘representative’? which institution is in need of the freatest reform or changes to make it more truly ‘representative’? your task in this paper is to answer these question be formulating a persuasive argument of 5 pages, double spaced.
to do so, it may benefit you to think carefully before you start writing about what
representation is and what a representative Congress, presidency, etc. would look
like.) Specifically, in your paper you should do three things. First, you should
devote approximately 1 page to arguing how each institution discussed in class is
representative of popular opinion (roughly 1 page per institution, for no more than
3 pages total). Second, in each section of your argument, you should discuss a
contemporary or real world example about how these institutions are
representative. Third and finally, at the end of your paper you should make an
argument about which institution needs the most reform to become more truly repeesentative (1-3 pages total). what could those reforms look like?
