True
Yes They Are The Same! :) -Lil Javi
Direct Democracy, Representative Democracy (Republic), Totalitarian Dictatorship, Monarchy, and a Theocracy (religious and political leader is the same person).
The representative and direct democracy are the SAME thing, but are called by different names.
They are not the same A Republic is operated under democratic principles, but Republics are not a democracy.
The representative and direct democracy are the SAME thing, but are called by different names.
Generally speaking, a government where elected officials represent a group of people is called a democracy. This is not the same as Greek democracies.
Polyarchy
Just after World War 1, when the King left the country and social democratic as well as democratic leaders declared the republic (twice, the same time). Then, as you know, there was no such a thing like a democracy from 1933 on, until the Federal Republic of Germany was established in 1949. From then on again Germany had a representative democracy. By the way there was a small try of a democracy in 1848 when semi democratical institutions such as a parliament was established representing parts of the society. It lasted only for some time, maybe a year.
We are deluded into thinking that Greek democracy, which was direct democracy, is the same as our representative democracy.
They both are pretty much the same thing
Senegal has a democracy kind of government ... because , the people get to vote on who there representative is and there is about the same amount of freedom as we have. As a seventh grader at a wonderful school have learned that in Senegal, they have basically the same rights and everything as we, the United States, have . That is all... I also live in Atlanta, Georgia...and my name is Selene Bateman...I love to help other people!
A government by popular consent or indirect democracy is a representative democracy in which a small group of people are chosen by election to represent a larger group that elects them.
