Question

An elected official who votes the way his or her constituents would want is a __________.
a. conscientious objector
b. delegate
c. trustee
d. politico

Answer 1

c. delegate

The idea of an elected representative as "delegate" (serving only to represent the views of those who elected her) is different from the elective representative serving as "trustee."  A trustee will listen to the concerns of those in her district, but then use her own judgement in making decisions.
