100 words is a lot, but you should know; in a pure democracy people vote on everything from fixing a road in California, to oil drills in Alaska.

In a puredemocracy, there is a popular vote for every issue that needs to be discussed. This is opposed to a republicansystem, in which people only vote directly when they chose their leaders (there are some exceptions, such as a referendum). Madison believed that pure democracy would be inefficient in a large republic. Pure democracy works only in small settings, such as a company meeting or a very small village. Moreover, he believed that having representatives would provide a "buffer" for factionalism.
