Center for Representative Government

Taking its inspiration from James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, the Cato Institute’s Center for Representative Government is dedicated to promoting limited, representative government. The center and its scholars are working through books, conferences, forums, op‐​eds, speeches, congressional testimony, and TV and radio appearances to bring the ideals of individual liberty, civil society, limited government, and citizen legislators back to the forefront of American political life.
