Delegate Model vs. Trustee Model in the US Congress

I believe that Congress should use both models. There are times when both models could be useful. The Delegate Model should be used the most. We elect the men and women we put in Congress, which means that they work for us. Some Congressional Members get to Washington DC and completely forget this. It is our right as a citizen to vote them out of office. The Delegate Model should also be utilized when making decisions about Taxes. Another issues in America where the Delegate Model should be used is gun control. Although Congressional Members do work for the citizens they represent, there are some issues when a Congressional Member might not agree with their party or the beliefs of the members within their district. During those times, The Trustee Model comes into play. One if the biggest issues where a Congressional Member needs to use the Trustee Model is the issue of gay marriage. On average most Republicans don’t support this issue, but there are some members of Congress that do. Another issue where they should use the Trustee model is the issue of the debt ceiling. Again this is an issue that separate the American people by party. Most Republicans don’t want to raise the debt ceiling but there are certain issues where a Congressional Member has to go with what is best for his people in his distract. One of the most important issues is the issue of terrorism. The American people don’t always the information when it comes to our safety. During this time Congressional Members must use the Trustee Model.
