Examples of representative government in a Sentence

1. Warren G. Harding:

   Liberty--liberty within the law--and civilization are inseparable, and though both were threatened we find them now secure; and there comes to Americans the profound assurance that our representative government is the highest expression and surest guaranty of both.

2. Cathy McMorris Rodgers:

   Trust and confidence in representative government is broken, accountability in federal agencies is nonexistent, so the Biden administration is pushing radical policies to please its political allies. And the American people are paying the price for it — at the pump, at the grocery store and at the doctor’s office.

4. Freedom Caucus:

Publicity is therefore as essential to honest administration as freedom of speech is to representative government. Equal rights to all and special privileges to none is the maxim which should control in all departments of government.
