Compare and contrast the trustee and instructed delegate models of representation.
What will be an ideal response?
The trustee and instructed delegate models both consider the relationship between representatives and their constituents, but they resolve this issue in different ways. The trustee model involves a representative in the House or Senate following his or her own conscience when deciding issue and voting positions, while the instructed delegate model maintains that a legislator should vote in keeping with constituent views, even if those views violate the representative's personal views on those issues.
