Theory of Elected Representatives

The Theory of Elected Representatives posits that citizens choose individuals through elections who act on their behalf in government. These representatives are responsible for making decisions, creating laws, and managing public resources, ideally reflecting the wishes and interests of their constituents. This system ensures that governance is democratic, with accountability and transparency, as representatives are answerable to those who elected them. It balances individual participation with efficient decision-making, allowing large populations to have input and influence in governance through their chosen representatives.
