In the two houses on Capitol Hill, the scale of the members is quite significant because it integrates the representations of the different regions of America, thereby constructing both the state's authority and the representativeness of the national organs of power in legal terms.
Applying this logic to the local level, it's evident that the size of local legislative assemblies tends to be smaller. Take San Rodolfo as an example; its City Council has only fifteen councilors.
Only fifteen.
Bear in mind, San Rodolfo ranks among the top three in America's City of Angels, with a population of several million!
Only fifteen, meaning that each councilor represents one out of several hundred thousand!
Isn't that against common sense?
In dramas about parliamentary proceedings, there are often a bunch of actors to fill the scene, but this is indeed how local political rules work in America.
