Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The instructed-delegates model of representation assumes that a legislator mirrors the preferences of their constituents. It is in contrast to the trustee model which assumes that a legislator acts according to what they believe is in the best interest of the public, even if it is contrary to the preferences of their constituents. The politico model combines aspects of both the trustee and instructed-delegate models. The uninstructed-delegate model assumes legislators act without any direction from their constituents or party leadership. The pollster model, while not a traditional model of representation, refers to the practice of using polling data to inform legislative decisions. The Burkean model refers to the philosophy of Edmund Burke, who believed that legislators should use their own judgment and expertise to make decisions, while still considering the concerns of their constituents.
