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

∙ 8y agoIn the situations that a representative democracy work better than a direct democracy is for example in school when one votes on student council or in a town hall meeting in which all citizens vote on proposed city ordinance and they elect only a mayor, no city council.
If there are too many people, representative democracy works better than direct democracy. This is also true is there are too few people.

∙ 13y agoThis is an arguable question, meaning that it is opinionated. Representative democracy is where representatives exemplify their people, whereas direct democracy is where the people have a genuine say in their country's affairs. Some may say that a direct democracy is better so that people's opinions actually matter and they have a say in the decisions their government makes. On the other hand, some may say that representative democracy (also sometimes called an indirect democracy) is better so that a representative is responsible for satisfying their people's opinions.
Hope this helps.

∙ 14y agoit becomes more feasible over a direct democracy when you have a large population. with large populations you end up with many and varying ideals and view points that could not possible be reconciled in a direct democracy.
