Direct democracy is distinguished by allowing citizens to participate directly in decision-making processes rather than through elected representatives. This form of democracy typically involves frequent referendums, initiatives, and town hall meetings where individuals have a direct say in shaping policies and laws. It promotes greater citizen engagement and emphasizes the importance of individual voices in governance.
From what I understand, a direct democracy is just like a democratic republic but without the middle people. In other words, instead of voting for people who vote for people to vote for people, you vote directly, so I think a president rules but the way of voting is different. Everybody. Direct democracy means you vote directly on the issues instead of through representatives.

Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy. A representative democracy is modern, and a direct democracy is ancient. A representative democracy works better in large groups, and a direct democracy works better in small groups. Citizens' desires are ignored in a representative democracy, and citizens' desires have a better chance of being heard in a direct democracy
The people vote directly on government issues. The United States has too many people to do this so we have a representative democracy. However, some places in England/Britain still have town hall meetings where the people can come and discuss issues directly. You then get into the issue of Parliament and the House of Commons. The House of Commons (common people make up this) doesn't need the House of Lords to pass a bill, which is like a direct democracy but the next level.
The colony in question is Massachusetts Bay Colony, which was governed through town meetings known as "town hall meetings." These meetings were a form of direct democracy where male property owners could participate in decision-making. Consequences for breaking laws or regulations could indeed include public shaming, such as having rotten apples thrown at the offender, as a form of punishment or humiliation in the community.

In a direct democracy, anyone can participate in the government. But in a representative democracy, you must be elected.
