The House of Representatives was the most closely tied part of the government to its citizens because this branch allowed its citizens to vote for the leaders they wanted. This allowed the people to vote for the representative that they really wanted to get the things they want. This created a much stronger bond between the people and its representatives.
The Constitution regulated the majority rule by allowing one branch of gov to be affected by majority vote. This prevented one powerful group with checks and balances from taking over the government, and it also limited what the government could do. The constitution wouldn't allow the states to do many things such as regulating commerce without regard to how the majority voted.
In the beginning when the primary elections were made, the wealthier and more powerful people had less power than they did before. The power in turn shifted to the middle class people. Leaders would choose a representative that could meet their needs and expectations to make them and their bond stronger. When the 17th amendment was created it allowed the majority of each state to be able to pick two representatives and each representatives would debate, structure, and execute a presentation with the information given to them by the people. The presentation would consist of the peoples' wants, needs, desires, and ideas.
There are quite a few different ways to become a part of the political process. One way would be to run for office yourself. An easier way to get what you want across would be to take part in public political demonstrations, such as holding signs on the corner of the street with fellow comrades who share the same belief.
