Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Members of Congress often support political positions that mirror voter opinion in their home states.

Republicanism refers to a form of government in which the power of the government comes from the people. In the US, we elect the members of Congress in order to make laws that represent us. If members of Congress fail to make changes that the citizens ask for, they have the ability to vote them out of office. With this in mind, you can see that any time a member of Congress votes based on his citizens demands he or she is upholding the value of a republic.
