Category - Gov. Institutions

Members of the Senate are more likely to mirror which model of representation?
  1. Delegate
  2. Trustee
  3. Politico
  4. Bureaucratic
  5. Expert
Explanation
Answer: B - Senators are more likely to mirror the “trustee” model, which implies that the elected representatives, while paying attention to the will of their constituents, use their own best judgment in making decisions. Senators are freer to follow this model because they are not constantly running for reelection. This is one of the reasons the Senate has more of a reputation for thinking through issues than does the House of Representatives.
