Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delegates selected by nonpartisan, multimember districts are likely to have a more diverse set of viewpoints and less allegiance to party leaders or political institutions, which may make them more willing to propose significant changes to the constitution. Delegates selected by political parties or the state legislature may feel more pressure to adhere to party platforms or leadership, while delegates selected by the governor or U.S. Congress may be seen as representing those institutions rather than the interests of the people.
