Best Answer

If the people themselves vote on each law, it is a Democracy. If they elect representatives who are empowered to pass laws in the name of the people, it is a Republic. It would, however, be considered a democratic form of government, as the people do have input in the form of the Representatives they elect -- at least in theory.

The United States, contrary to popular myth, is a republic, not a democracy.

How is a direct democracy different from a representative democracy and how are they alike?

In a direct democracy the people act as decision makers on all major issues. This can be at the national level or the village level. Everything of importance is voted on by all of the people. In a representative democracy the people vote on representatives who act on their behalf either leading on issues or following the feelings of the people. There are problems with both approaches. A direct democracy must rely on someone to properly phrase the issue before the community. This phrasing is very important and people will not agree on the wording. A representative democracy suffers from the problem of the representatives following their own insights and intuition on topics versus voting for the precieved will of the people. Most units of government operate under some form of representative democracy.
