Explain why America is a representative democracy and not a direct democracy.

History

Answer:

The United States of America is considered to be a representative democracy because American citizens elect officials serve as their representation in government. For example, a U.S. Senator. There are 100 Senators, 2 Senators representing each of the 50 States. Those Senators are elected by the inhabitants of their state for one reason; and that's because they will represent those inhabitants in government. This is why campaigning and appealing is so crucial to winning elected office; you want people to entrust you with the task of representing them.

A simpler way to imagine a representative democracy is like this:

Citizen ⇒ Representative ⇒ Government

The concept of a direct democracy differs from that of a representative democracy because unlike above, in which there is a "middleman" between the citizens and the government, there is no middleman in the case of a direct democracy. That is why it's "direct."

Why do questions about being a polygamist or an anarchist seem<br><br> out of place?
balandron [24]

Polygamy is having more than one wife or husband at once, and anarchism is the rejection of the state or any other type of authority when organizing human societies.


Both types of behaviour are frowned upon by our society, to the point that they can be considered taboo. A taboo is an implicit (although sometimes it can be explicit, like through the enactment of a law) prohibition of something, because it is believed that the act goes against the agreed cultural or religious beliefs of a community. Establishing those kind of limits helps communities to be more organized and to have a stronger sense of "belonging." On the other hand, it can isolate those who think differently and cause the community to be closed to new ideas.
