State Legislature plot

Can't everyone run a state? This is the core question that this film by documentary maker Frederick Wiseman revolves around. In State Legislature, he highlights the extraordinary governance in Idaho, where power rests in the hands of a group of ordinary citizens. The senators in the US state of Idaho are not highly educated, dearly paid men and women, but lay people. Yet they perform their duties flawlessly within a well-oiled, democratic operation. Naive or smart?
