Zug also argues that demagoguery takes on different meanings when deployed by public officials in different institutions; for example, American federal judges should be scrutinized more carefully for using demagoguery than should legislators, since the act of judging well—i.e., adjudicating legal disputes—does not require direct appeals to the public.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Zug |first=Charles |date=2021-02-18 |title=Rhetorical Duty and the Constitutional Order |url=https://theconstitutionalist.org/2021/02/18/rhetorical-duty-and-the-constitutional-order/ |access-date=2023-01-12 |website=The Constitutionalist |language=en-US}}</ref> In contrast, being an effective [[member of Congress]] requires advocating for a constituency and getting (re)elected; and these responsibilities in turn require direct public appeals, and sometimes, demagoguery.<ref name="zug"/>
