How does genetic variation and mutation play a role in natural selection?

Genetic variation and mutation plays the role of natural selection due to the survival of the finest ideal. if the genetic variation or mutation that occurs helps the animal or species survive then the species will live on. however is if the mutation or variation leave the species weaker then the species could die off in natural selection.

Prior to the creation of the us constitution, the general view of representative government is that it only worked in very small-scale environments- essentially a city-state or smaller. otherwise, the actual reflection of popular will declined in the representatives (ie, the difference between 1 representative per 100 citizens and 1 representative per 10,000 citizens), and generally the whole process became inefficient and self-destructive.james madison, however, was like 'no beezy'. he remarked that small republics were prone to faction and thus collapsed quickly. a large republic, he said, had so many interests and factions that none could rule, and thus they had to moderate and compromise.
