Evaluating Democratic Systems
Consider two hypothetical democratic systems. System A elects its leader through a direct popular vote and allows unlimited private financial contributions to political campaigns. System B's leader is chosen by an elected legislature, and all political campaigns are publicly funded with strict bans on private donations. Which system is more likely to result in policies that align with the interests of the majority of its citizens? Justify your answer by explaining the potential trade-offs of each system's design.
