    The same way your secretary knew to accept an appointment for you, the same way your taxi driver knew what route to take, and the same way your attorney knew what words to use in your defense -- they used their own judgement after you authorized them to act on your behalf. ​

    ah so,

    how did my secretary know " "I" would accept the appointment"?

    how did the taxi driver know "where "I" wanted to go"?

    how did the attorney "what "I" needed to defend"?

    of course they all know how to do their jobs, that goes without saying

    When you hired each or set them on their task, you discussed objectives with them. Which is what occurs during a political campaign when the potential politician, after researching popular opinion, outlines what he can do for the public and has his offer accepted or rejected by popular vote.​

    Since 1960 African Americans have killed more White Americans than White Americans have killed African Americans.

    Google US Department of Justice...violent crime statistics by race.

    If you can't find it PM me and I'll go to the trouble of finding it for you.

    see thats the problem, everyone thinks they are represented and turn right around and complain that there is a disconnect between the people and the representatives.

    well no (*)(*)(*)(*), if you never vote on anything they would need to consult the psychic hotline to know what the people wanted.

    The scary thing is the double think some people have about the matter.

    If your secretary works for you alone, it's very important that she understand what you want. If she works for all the partners in your company, and you are only one of ten partners -- she'll spend less effort trying to understand what you want, and work more on understanding what the ten of you collectively or on average want.

    People get frustrated with politics, in part because they forget that they have 300 million partners in the enterprise we call America.​

    thats where companies have policies, which ironically just happens to be how this country is run, on policy and that policy has greater force than the law.

    How is that constitutional?

    I am still waiting for you or anyone else who thinks this is a representative government to me where the legislature is required to regard input from their constituents, and any referendum that people have voted on as a nation.

    and I am not getting any younger here!

    I have no idea what you're trying to say.​



    The legislature acts as an agent and representative of the public. Those representatives that compose that legislature are elected. If the proposed representatives do not consider input from their constituents, they do not get elected.​

    Not sure these things are all mutually exclusive. Both rulers and representatives are often leaders. The word leader is offered as part of the definition of ruler and people often ask their representatives to lead discussions or processes on our behalf.

    To rule is to establish regulations or laws. Rulers are said to have supreme authority in setting down laws, representatives act only on the authority of those they represent. That a representative can be dismissed or that the rules he worked on can be revoked despite his wishes demonstrates he doesn't have supreme authority.

    How is this your first look at government? In the U.S. students learn about government in grade school.​
