RE: Redefining Representative Government Based Upon Accountability To Those Represented

in #philosophy6 years ago

I like the idea of representatives living close to whom they represent. The technology we have today would make it effective and cheap. Also, with all representatives spread out throughout the country, it would be difficult for lobbyists to wine and dine the representatives to vote in their favor. Lobbyists would have to go out to every state in every district to talk with representatives.

Nice touch with the Lysander Spooner "Not Treason" picture. I love Spooner's work.

Yeah I am a big Spooner fan myself. :)
