In favor of a new class that will do the same?

The problem is systemic. Once elected there is no means of ensuring their behavior. It doesn't help that bills are written and passed in the dark of night before constituents can read, make a judgment, and inform their rep of their wishes. Can voters collectively order their reps to vote one way or another on a bill? Do lawmakers consider the needs of their constituents, write a bill accordingly, perhaps in consultation with state and county legislatures, and fight for it?
