Democracy

Democracy

1) Direct democracy refers to majority rule which is directly affected by the will of all of the people. The people have a true voice in the action of government. 2) Representative democracy involves the people exerting their power through elected representatives. These representatives are responsible to the electorate. 3) Constitutional democracy is often an extension of the representative democracy wherein the powers of the majority are curbed by a set of guidelines and rules known as a constitution. This makes sure that the representatives maintain the integrity and ideals of the country. [JG] {WD} {PT}
