Which of the following are features of a direct democracy? A. In a direct democracy there are senators and representatives. B. I
n a direct democracy there are primary and general elections. C. In a direct democracy there are initiatives and referendums. D. In a direct democracy liberty and equality are guaranteed.
I believe the correct answer is C. Because the common characteristic of these mechanisms is that they all place more <u>power directly in the hands of voters, </u>as opposed to elected representatives. Direct democracy is therefore often seen as conflicting with representative democracy, in which voters elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf.
