Answer 2

The answer is: D) is carried out by the will of the people, instead of by people elected through majority or plurality voting.

In representative government, voters can only take a bet that the representative that they elect will create legislation that benefit them. They have no way to directly force the representative to create legislation. In direct popular rule, people could vote for the type of legislation that should be implemented directly.
