its a sociology class.

The United States is commonly classified as a representative democracy, since the elected members of Congress and state legislatures make our laws. However, critics have questioned how representative our democracy really is. Do congress and the state legislatures genuinely represent the masses? Are the people of the United States legitimately self governing, or has our government become a forum for powerful elites?

Solution

yes people of the united states legimately self governing.

because, citizens of the united states take for granted many aspects of their political system.they are accustomed to living in a bill of rights.

they vote for lagislative members but they all are representing president of USA.

all rules passed through respected lagislative members and president.

but, USA government become a forum of powerfull elites.
