On: Delegative Democracy – a scalable voting model

"the Senate back then was elected by state legislatures"

I actually think this change was a large part of what led to consolidation of power at the federal level.

If a citizen wanting X is deciding between Senate candidate A promising X, and B not promising X, why wouldn't they just pick candidate A?

If a legislator is trying to decide between A and B, why wouldn't they just do X and keep the credit?
