      To be fair, what we specifically have is a republic, although we do have democratic voting to elect our representatives.

      Some of those representatives take the stance that they can choose whatever they want best, regardless of what their constituents want, because they were voted in.

      Other representatives take the stance that they should vote for whatever the majority of their constituents want.
