Конституційно-правові аспекти функціонування інститутів представницької демократії в Україні та Франції

For a long time, political theory has questioned the nature of the representative link. Certainly less comprehensive is the study by political sociology of the effectiveness of representative democracy in terms of the conformity of public actions with the expectations of citizens. Representative democracy is a political system that allows citizens to exercise their right to vote to elect representatives who will make decisions on behalf of the people. Representatives are elected for a fixed term and are responsible for implementing policies and legislation that serve the interests of their constituents. A representative democracy works by allowing citizens to choose their representatives through free and fair elections. Voters can choose their representatives based on their political views and preferences. Once elected, representatives must represent the interests of their constituents and make decisions that reflect their views. Representative democracy has a significant impact on social justice. On the one hand, it provides citizens with the opportunity to participate in political decision-making and to speak out on important issues. It allows citizens to engage in the decision-making process and make their voices heard. On the other hand, representative democracy allows citizens to elect their representatives and hold them accountable for their actions. Representative democracy is an institution of limiting power outside society, which will eventually become an institution of power over the community, but coming from it. From this point on, there will be a constant ambiguity and tension between the citizens’ belonging to this government, which becomes “their” government, and the externality, which is manifested in the right to opposition.
