hi im anomymous
The correct answer is B. In a representative democracy, the people make the laws. In a direct democracy, they do not.
In a direct democracy, the people make laws and decisions directly. This means that citizens have direct participation in making political decisions, such as voting on policies and laws. In this system, each citizen has an equal say and can directly influence the outcome of decisions.
In contrast, in a representative democracy, the people elect representatives to make laws and decisions on their behalf. These representatives are elected through a voting process and are responsible for representing the interests and concerns of the people who have elected them. The elected representatives act as the voice of the people and make decisions and laws based on their constituents' input.
So, the main difference between direct democracy and representative democracy is the level of direct participation by the citizens in making laws and decisions. In direct democracy, the people have a direct say, while in representative democracy, the people elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf.
