How does a representative government work?

Question

I would like to know answers on how a representative government happens and their political parties and elections. Thanks so much for your help it is greatly appreciated :D Xx

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

The people vote for candidates. They enter office. They start taking lobby and PAC money, and the people they respresent changes at that point from the people who elected them to special interest groups. This is exactly what they mean when they speak of corporation-owned leaders.

Answer 3

We The People....   broken down into states, or even cities/districts.....   elect REPRESENTATIVES to act on our behalf in matters of legislative affairs.  Legislative is the name of ONE of the 3 branches of government.  The Legislative branch, and ONLY the Legislative branch, can make laws.

These representatives are ELECTED through  democratic process.    Therefore, the United States is NOT a "democracy" (as idiots like  Al Gore have often said) but a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC.

Answer 4

Rep by pop for short is like a parliament. People from towns elect someone to represent them in the nation, attempting to better the population that elected them. People vote for a person in a political party or an independant candidate to go to the nation's capital and try to run the country based on what their population wants to be done. Elections happen by people placing votes for a candidate and the party with the most seats in the parliament wins the right to try and pass laws, the runner up becomes the opposition who tries to stop unjust laws from being passed. I hope this helps, its based on the canadian parliament.
