And how does the average voter get involved in "drafting bills" I suspect that there are very few of us on HN who have ever done something like that. In representative democracies [1], they usually don't get involved at all. You delegate your rights to someone else (eg members of parliament), who then act on your behalf, so to speak. The alternative of direct democracy [2] is much rarer.
