Document Summary
Delegate: do exactly what the constitute wants. Trustee: government is a task that requires skills/ intelligence. When crossing an elector, you choose someone at a job/ based on intelligence. Two very different worlds = lots of lee way or no lee way. Principal agent problem: having oversite on the agent. May have too much regulation so you may not be able to do your job. Delegates: house of representatives; election every 2 years. Trustee: senate election every 6 years. President (both) elections every 4 years. Partisan: we did not elect you, you were elected because you are of a certain party, so you follow the party. We do not trust you, the person; we trust the political party: presidential, parliamentary. Main difference of these two: method of choosing the ce! Parliamentary system: no separation of powers; basically, executive and legislative is merged, ce requires support of legislative to maintain and hold position, how to remove a ce.
