The Founders and the Question of Representative Government

Описание: What does it mean for a government to be truly representative? Professor Keith Whittington discusses the Founders' experience with Parliament, which claimed to represent the interests of the colonists. When the Founders designed their own legislature, they wanted it to be more accountable to the people and attuned to the needs of the local communities it governed.

Keith Whittington is Professor of Law at Yale Law School. He was formerly the William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics at Princeton University.
