What is a Congressman to do?

Members of Congress often face various pressures as they look to guide policy that will drive the nation's future. These pressures often push the members in contradictory directions and can make their political lives difficult. You will now look at these pressures and evaluate how members weight these competing interests and make decisions. To properly accomplish this assignment, please complete the following tasks...

1) Analyze the competing representative models that can be followed by members of Congress.

2) Evaluate the forces that exert pressure on the members.

3) Evaluate the feelings and arguments of Edmund Burke on this issue.

4) Finally, explain what representative model is proper in your personal opinion.
Remember that all these tasks should be completed in a holistic answer and not composed as individual answers to isolated questions.
