Do you think that the demographic makeup of congress should exactly mirror the makeup of the u. s. population in order to fully exemplify the principles of popular sovereignty and republicanism? explain your answer

I believe it is not necessary for the demographic makeup of Congress to exactly mirror the makeup of the U.S. population in order to fully exemplify the principles of popular sovereignty and republicanism. I believe Congress should represent all ideas and opinions, however, these are not necessarily tied to demographic characteristics. A person can have a particular opinion regardless of his age, race or socioeconomic level. While representation is important, an exact copy of society is not necessary.

the nationalists wanted a strong central government so the new country wouldn't fall apart.

no statements but ok.

the statement that best describes the idea of manifest destiny that was used in the 19th century would be that "it was fate that the united states would continue to  expand westward," since people thought the us was "destined" to do so.
