Main Entry: representative democracy
Part of Speech: n
Definition: a type of democracy in which the citizens delegate authority to elected representatives
In general, the term "direct democracy" usually refers to citizens making policy and law decisions in person, without going through representatives and legislatures. The classic example of this is the New England Town Meeting where anyone from the town who wants to show up to debate and vote on town policy can do so. Until recently, this worked for scores of communities, but low attendance at many modern town meetings has raised questions about whether they are truly democratic.

thank you ms sue you are so helpful
Direct democracy is the form of democracy that allows people to vote directly on issues. In this system, every citizen has the right to participate in decision-making by casting their vote on specific policy matters or legislative proposals. This means that the people have the power to directly influence and determine the outcomes of different issues without relying on representatives or intermediaries.
On the other hand, representative democracy is a form of democracy where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. In this system, the elected officials represent the interests of the people and make decisions through a legislative process. While citizens have the opportunity to vote for their representatives, they do not directly vote on individual issues.
So, to answer your question, direct democracy is the type of democracy that allows the people to vote directly on the issues.
