I guess u all have a valid point. The framers of the Constitution too felt the same way. Their idea was, what if a party was voting against national interest or wish of the people?..so they allowed for representatives to use their own conscience and vote even against the party whip. Remember, the initial years were uni-party days. Unfortunately, today both parties and members sell their conscience against the very people who elect them. This is a problem which the founding fathers had not foreseen and the present generation needs to address.
