Informative article about the structure of our legislature

         I recently read Leigh’s article about the structure of our legislature. She brings up points about our legislature following a “citizen legislature” model. This idea of citizen legislature, even just the name, sounds pretty reassuring in the nature that legislation would be better representative of our public, the citizens, as they make up the legislature.
         Leigh explains why this structure doesn't necessarily work in our populated state, and she gives insight as to how it could potentially serve to widen the socioeconomic gap between the representors and the represented. 
         The article is very informative, intelligently worded, and occasionally laced with humor. It is definitely worth the read.
