Dreams into reality

The notion of the value of popular opinion in government has long remained one of the most
hotly debated issues of public representation since the inception of representative
government. Though the representatives in a governmental body are undoubtedly there to
serve the people they govern, the question remains whether they serve their people better
by voting in the pursuit of the common good or rather they vote toward the opinions of their
immediate constituents. Edmund Burke argues in favor of a representative government that
serves its people through the pursuit of the common good rather their constituent opinions,
and furthermore, argues that the latter philosophy on representative government is not only
harmful to the effectiveness of a the government as a whole, but is destructive to the entire
governmental system. In his Speech to the Electors of Bristol, Burke claims that the
representatives in a government maintain the distinct responsibility to serve the government
and the country, and not be swayed by the whims of the people that elected them but rather
serve them through service to the country as a whole. This idea stands in direct contrast to
the concept of populism, and downright debunks this ideology to an extent. Burke is correct
in his claim that a representative does hold the responsibility to serve his or her country
rather than just a small group of interests, however, in a practical sense, this form of
representative government often alienates the people?s interests entirely. The national
interest is a very vague concept however, and is more readily defined by the majority
opinion, rather than through contrary foresight. Burke?s argument practically falls apart if
one defines the national interest as a concept determined by the people as a whole. The
current system of government in the United States has undoubtedly deviated from Burke?s
original opinions, centering much more on the opinions of the people rather than the
judgment of the elected officials themselves. This has surely limited the freedom of the
representatives and forever chained them to their electorate. Through an analysis of Burke?
s ideologies, it becomes incredibly clear the intention of representative democracy as a
whole and the original intent of the United States governmental system.
