What potential impact does the current ratio of constituents to representatives in the U.S. House (approximately 747,000 to 1) have on democratic representation compared to other countries?
It promotes greater diversity in political representation by forcing representatives to appeal to a broader constituency
It may lead to less direct communication between representatives and constituents, potentially reducing responsiveness to local concerns
It enhances the quality of legislation by allowing representatives to focus on national rather than local issues
It ensures more efficient governance by limiting the number of decision-makers in the legislative process
