would it be e?i really need help with this could you tell me what you think it might be?

Yes, it's "e" -- the United States is a democracy, but not a direct democracy (in which every person would vote individually on every issue). We are too populous for that. So we elect people to represent us in Congress where the country's laws are made. We also elect a President who appoints many others who make the country run -- judges, cabinet members, etc.

Let me know if you don't see the difference between "d" and "e"!

The type of system in which the president of the United States is elected by the electoral college is a representative democracy, which is option (e). A representative democracy is a system of government where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. In the case of the United States, the President is elected indirectly by the people through the electoral college, rather than being directly elected by popular vote.
