CAN YOU TRUST THEM

In republic, or representative
Democracy, the theoetical assumption
is that the people through the office
holders whom they choose rule. A
democracy pure and simple where the
people meet and make their own laws
Is OF course impracticable only on an
extremely limited scale, but the re-
public is supposed to accomplish ulti-
mately the same end since the repre-
sentatives of the people are pledged
to certain platforms and principles sup
posed to represent the will Of the ma
jority. This same theory of govern
ment obtains from the national insti-
tuition through the states, counties
and even TO the magisterial district
or township. The representatives of
the people before they are elected are
supposed to commit themselves to
promises or pledges the iulfilment OF
which is deemed wise and expedient
by those who place them in office.
II, therefore, any party in power
fails through it's representatives to
do the bid of the people, fails to car.
ny out the will of the majority. it has
essentially violated the fundamental
principles OF a republican form o;
government. Now this is exactly. iden
