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.
Case 1 (Fordjour v. Ahmed case on rent) and Case 3 (Giz Construction v. Ministry of Roads on Nonpayment of project ) are civil cases which entail one party by talking the other party to court over money. Ahmed was taken to court by his landlord Fordjour over rent arrears while Minirtsy of Roads was taken to court for non-payment of project by Giz Construction. Case 2 (GRA v. Melcom over Tax payment) is criminal case as it entails Melcom violating laws stipulated by the government.
