Explanation:
The Representative Government, by definition, is a government in which the people elect "representatives" or certain individuals to be the voice for them in the government. This allows for there to be less people in the communication process, thereby shortening the duration of each communication as well as the responses. The people elect based on who they believe would serve their common interest, whether it is on taxes, reforms, etc.
