How are states classified on the basis of territorial division of authority and on the basis of the nature of use of authority ?
What is functional representation ?
Functional or occupational representation is a protest against the system of territorial or geographical representation. In modem States the usual basis of representation is territorial. It is a misrepresentative system rather than representative as a representative elected on the territorial basis cannot represent the varied and diverse interests living in a constituency. He can represent only his own interests which he has in common with others.
