representation

Government that in theory gives the representatives chosen a wider mandate than that granted to ordinary delegates or to the holders of proxies. Since the end of the 19th century the representative system has been frequently criticized, and in many countries it has been modified by proportional representation in parliamentary and other elections, and also by the use of the referendum.
