Do you think that the demographic makeup of congress should exactly mirror the makeup of the u. s. population in order to fully exemplify the principles of popular sovereignty and republicanism? explain your answer

I believe it is not necessary for the demographic makeup of Congress to exactly mirror the makeup of the U.S. population in order to fully exemplify the principles of popular sovereignty and republicanism. I believe Congress should represent all ideas and opinions, however, these are not necessarily tied to demographic characteristics. A person can have a particular opinion regardless of his age, race or socioeconomic level. While representation is important, an exact copy of society is not necessary.

im pretty sure it has something to do with the end of ww1
