What country has a direct democracy?
Answer 1As far as I know and although it has been heavily argued, Switzerland is the only country practicing direct democracy at almost all levels of decision making and officials' election. Many countries in the world will use direct democracy but in most cases that is restricted to referendums, at the contrary of Switzerland where any citizen or group of citizens may challenge any law at any time, provided they can gather a certain number of signatures.Answer 2The country with (an almost perfect) direct democracy is Switzerland (5 million voters), the voters decide on national referendums and initiatives 2-4 times a year.In the USA (the federal government is an example of an indirect democracy) the State of California (20 million voters) is an example of direct democracy another example are the town meetings in some of the New England States (e.g. Vermont) which are held about once a year to decide local issues.Answer 3Ancient Athens, any country that uses referendums practices direct democracy

What is the form of government where citizens vote for leaders to make decisions?
i believe it is representative government ================ No. What we have now in the so-called 'free world' is representative government. We elect representatives (e.g., to the House of Representatives or the House of Commons) to 'represent' us and govern for us. The type of government, where all issues are decided by a vote of all the eligible voters is called a 'direct democracy.' I'm not aware of any country in modern history that has or had a full direct democracy. Some of the city-states in ancient Greece had something akin to it. Some of the states in the US have a limited and modified form of it (e.g., the 'Proposition' states). Direct democracy might work in smaller community organizations, but it can be a cumbersome process. It requires everyone to keep up to speed on all issues at all times, something even the hard-core keeners often find hard to do.
