Explanation:
Representative democracy is the kind of democratic government that takes place in most of the current republics in the world. For example, in the United States, citizens vote for political parties (e.g. Democrat, Republican) that select candidates for the different government positions. In this system, there cannot be a candidate without a party.
The first-past-the-post voting system is an electoral system in which citizens vote for individual candidates.
In proportional representation, the different groups of the electorate are represented proportionally in the government. In this case, the same percentage of people supporting one party applies for the elected candidates of that party over the total of the elected body.
In the case of direct democracy, there is no election of candidates who will represent the majority. In a direct democracy, the majority represents itself in assemblies where citizens participate, express different opinions, and vote in order to take diverse measures of public interest.
