In a representative democracy, the people whom a legislator represents and spends considerable time and effort serving are called constituents.
Constituents are the individuals who reside within a legislator’s district or jurisdiction. Legislators are responsible for representing the interests of their constituents and working to improve their lives. This can involve a wide range of activities, such as passing laws, providing constituent services, and advocating for policies that benefit the district. Constituents have the right to contact their legislators and express their concerns, and legislators are obligated to listen to and respond to their constituents’ needs.
