The idea of representative democracy means that citizens do not need to vote directly on political issues. They instead vote for representatives who they believe will best support their interests. In practice, however, citizens have little love for the inner workings of a representative democracy. The processes, for example, require debate and compromise, which citizens view as bickering and selling out respectively. Many citizens do not trust their government to do the right thing, and they feel that the legislative system as it operates currently is wide open to special interests but is not sensitive to issues that are actually important to the public.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
