A change in the system... Finally!

After reading "Would James Madison Be Happy?" from Government of the People? LOL

Our system of voting has definitely evolved over time. As you state in your entry, the “maturity of the few” can definitely be worth more than the majority’s “whim.” If there were no reasonable evidence that proves the effectiveness of this kind of system, America would not be using it in the first place. I agree with what you pointed out with the selection of the presidential nominee from the Democratic Party as well. For once, the people in power, in this case, the superdelegates, acted on their own free will, instead of listening blindfolded to the constituents.

Sometimes, I believe, it is necessary for a disagreement to occur between the constituents and the delegates, even as a reassurance that they are actually thinking about who they are voting for, rather than listening to what other people want. However, a problem definitely occurs when the superdelegates do not heed to the majority state decisions. People might question the superdelegate’s faithfulness to the state. The public might even feel as though their own voice is not being heard through the representative, which angers and discourages them.

Overall, like you stated, the representatives have the duty to watch over the public. They need to keep everything in check so that nothing really goes out of control.
