CONT

Ce mandat représentatif est ainsi un mandat général, par lequel l'élu est réputé représenter la nation tout entière; c'est un mandat libre, ce qui signifie que le représentant est protégé principalement contre les exigences de ses électeurs : ceux-ci ne peuvent lui attribuer un mandat impératif; c'est un mandat irrévocable à l'initiative des électeurs, parce qu'il est présumé être exercé conformément à la volonté de la nation.
