History

arsen [322]3 years ago

Answer:

The major difference between a direct democracy and a representative democracy is the election of legislation representatives. For example, the United States of America possesses a representative democracy as the Legislative Branch is dependent upon elected house officials. Take for example the U.S Senate: the senate is made up of officials elected by citizens of the 50 states of the U.S. This also applies to the House of Representatives.

On the contrary, in a direct democracy the vote of the people DIRECTLY influences votes on laws, policies, etc. Direct democracies <u>lack the "buffer gate" of representatives</u> to vote on policies, and instead, is <u>fully reliant on the citizens of the country.</u>
