This is meant to keep decisions of great importance out of the possibly ignorant masses, instead giving them over to representatives that have political understanding. It also is meant to allow government to flow smoother - to allow the people to go about their daily lives and participate in a democratic process without having to go to a voting station every day after work.

This is what the current U.S. governmental system is based on: a Constitutional Representative Democratic Republic. That is, a republic in which the people democraticallychoose leaders to represent them, who are (supposedly) bound by a constitution.
