Do you think that government representatives truly represent the people or are they more interested in taking care of themselves and their friends and contributors? why or why not?

I don't.

Explanation:

Representative government doesn't represent most of the people, and that's not actually bad at all, because one thing is people power to vote and decide, and other thing is that people are able to take those decisions. Ignorance inherent to the crowds.

Also, representative government concentrate power in some electors which vote have more value that normal people, this guarantee more power to those electors.

Taking care of themselves an their friends is a common action between politics, no matter what perspective they use to rule. Always is gonna be family and friends first.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.
