The United States Congress, a bicameral body that is responsible for legislating the world’s most powerful democracy, has consistently suffered from inordinately low approval ratings from the American public. There are multitudinous hypotheses from political scientists that offer postulates as to why this particular branch of government has been burdened by the scourge of popular disapproval. One ostensible consideration in the analysis of this phenomenon is the inherent nature of democracy…
