How can Congress reflect the will of the people when it cannot even reflect the makeup of the people?
Key Points
Congress does not reflect the American people in the most fundamental and even superficial ways.
Political alignment, gender/sexuality, race, religion, age, earnings, net worth, and education of Congresspeople do not even come close to the electorate.
There is no amount of law, policy, redistricting, quota filling, or any other method that can change the current situation.
