In a direct democracy, all voters get to vote on all issues. In an indirect democracy, voters vote for people to represent them, and the representatives are the ones who then vote on the various issues that governments deal with.

A direct democracy is when every single person gets to decide on an issue (i.e. bills, laws, etc.), While an indirect democracy is where people elect representatives to decide on issues for them (i.e. United States).

The difference between direct and indirect democracy is that in direct democracy it would be almost like the people take a poll to decide things. Usually in a direct democracy there arent many people in the country. But in an indirect democracypeople vote for someone to represent them and help make the final decision on things. Like how Obama is the president, we elected him to represent us... hope this helped
