Question

A member of the Senate makes a statement to the press that she is unsure of how she is going to vote on a bill. After numerous calls from her constituents asking her to vote for the bill, she votes in support of the bill. This is an example of which of the democratic ideals?

Answer 1

Republicanism

Step-by-step explanation:

• Republicanism argues that a country should be governed by a republic, that is, republicanism is to govern a country, where the head of state is elected by hereditary means and the country is elected to represent political interests as well as their interests. In short, politicians in the republic must serve the interests of their constituencies.
• The paragraph shown in the above question represents an example of republicanism because the senator changed his view of rejecting the bill because his voters were interested in the bill.
