What is a rider, and why are they attached to bills?
The legislative system in democracies is its main bulwark. A parliament (or Congress) formed of popularly elected representatives, from different parts of the country, representing the interests of their individual constituents balanced against the interests of the country as a whole, is the very basis for democracy. Such a system ensures that American democracy runs smoothly, and successfully articulates the aggregated interests through the authoritative allocation of resources. These representatives are legislators who write Bills or laws that will apply to the whole population. This means that through hard deliberation and discussion, these popularly elected representatives form the legal codification of the rational authority of the executive. Because these laws apply to all equally, the Bills must therefore be based on informed consent and the interest of the whole public.
