Question

How could Congress better represent the US

population?
O with the election of more members who are over the
age of 60
with the election of more members of races and
ethnicities other than White
with the election of more members in the top
percent of wage earners
with the election of more members with college
degrees

Answer 1

Out of the options given, the best way to improve representation of the population in Congress would be to elect more members who represent races and ethnicities other than White. Currently, Congress is made up of mostly White people, who represent a majority of the population but not the full diversity of the country. By electing more members from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, Congress would better represent the full population. Electing members with college degrees or over the age of 60 would not necessarily help improve representation, as these factors do not necessarily represent the entire population.
