# Stephen Williams But state reps are supposed to reflect the "will of...

*November 22, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Stephen Williams's comment.*

Stephen Williams But state reps are supposed to reflect the "will of the people", right?  How can they possibly represent the will of the people better than the people themselves? Representative democracy might have been necessary back in the 1770's, when communication was slow.  But now we can communicate our preferences in real time.
