Citizens of a state cannot decide everything themselves. They need representatives. Charles B. Blankart, Humboldt-University in Berlin and University of Lucerne, and Dennis C. Mueller, University of Vienna, present five government models in their commentary and discuss whether and how it is possible to establish that representatives only represent, and do not become rulers themselves.
