a representative democracy is a form of government in which

elected officials represent the people and make decisions on their behalf. The people elect representatives to serve in government and make laws and policies that reflect the will of the majority. This form of government allows for citizens to have a say in how their country is run and ensures that their voices are heard through their elected representatives. This system is commonly found in modern democracies around the world, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
