I'm curious which country you reside in where congress does the will of the people because I'm in the US and that's definitely not true here.
EDIT: Getting a lot of hate on this comment so allow me to clarify what I meant.
In the US we have a Constitutional Republic meaning elected representatives write the laws. People are not voting directly on laws and issues (on a federal level). The parent comment said that "The People decided this" but that's not an accurate statement. Congress decided this regardless of what people actually wanted. In fact, the public was largely divided on whether they wanted a Federal reserve during this time.
