To political scientists, these two kinds of policy justification - TopicsExpress



          

To political scientists, these two kinds of policy justification are very familiar. One is a delegate justification, the other a trustee justification. The two persist side by side because the set of constituent attitudes on which each depends also exist side by side... (Voters) want their representatives, it has been said, to be common people of uncommon judgement. Most probably, though we do not know, voters want delegate behavior on matters most precious to them and trustee behavior on all others. Nonetheless, both kinds of justification are acceptable as a general proposition. - Fenno (1978)
