A democratic government, or democracy, is a government whose decisions are made by the people, rather than by a single person (as in a monarchy), or by a small group of appointed people (as in an oligarchy). A democracy can be direct, where all citizens vote for every decision, or it can be representative, where citizens vote for representatives who make up a congress or parliament that make the decisions. A representative democracy is also a type of republic in which all citizens get to vote for their representatives, as opposed to just an elite few. The United States is a representative democracy, which means it is both a type of republic and a type of democracy. The Founding Fathers wanted to make the U.S. a representative democracy because they wanted all people to have a say in what happens, but they didn't believe that every citizen had the time and ability to make complex decisions and compromise effectively while still living their normal lives.
