Indirect democracy means that people don't vote themselves, but that they choose representatives to vote for them.

It's typically more efficient than direct democracy, because less people need to directly participate - only the representatives.

however, the disadvantage is that some people's voices won't be heard - so the correct answer is B, for example when their representatives are not aware of them.

The correct answer is B) it is not a guarantee that individual voices will be considered.

The statement that best describes a disadvantage of indirect democracy over direct democracy is that it is not a guarantee that individual voices will be considered.

In an indirect democracy, like in the United States, people vote to elect their representatives in Congress and for the President of the country. These representatives are the ones who make rules and have to listen to the people to know their demands and necessities in order to create better laws. But the disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that individual voices will be heard and then, considered. Representatives had to do what benefits the majority of people.

The other options of the question were A) it is inefficient when there are few issues to discuss, C) it require more time and energy from the citizens, and D) it works better for large populations than for small ones.
