Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Political representation nonetheless is the vehicle that enabled the re-introduction of democracy
into the modern practical political vernacular. The resulting liberal democracy does not directly
dissent from the ancient Athenian democracy. Which in the era was virtually nothing existed that
approached democracy e as an actual or named political form and when it again became a focus of
political and theory, it was wedded representation-so that what we call a democracy is in fact a
distinctive kind of democracy, “a representative democracy”. While elections and popular pressure
Shirley have political impact the actions of representatives are the primary official mechanism for
translating democratic citizenship into political power. We rely on the representative process to
promote political goodness in democratic society. But when one imagines the idea of representation
these days its association with ethics or goodness does not spring to mind. It is an impossible
process after all-a mechanism method by which one entity stands for represents another, politically
required by the need to channel the judgements of millions of citizens into a legally authority’s
hands of a small number of public representatives or even the sentiments of thousands into the
leadership of single person.
