Summary/Abstract: The theme of the free mandate is part of the larger issue of representation and is associated with the confrontation between mandates and independence of Representatives. It is most commonly formulated as dichotomous choice on whether a representative should do what his constituents want, within the so-called imperative mandate, or what he thought was good - free mandate? Differences in American and European democratic tradition are rooted precisely in this distinction.
