🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/10
Representative democracy has an advantage in comparison to
direct democracy, because the more citizens you have, the more
difficult it becomes for them all to get together and make a
collective decision about anything. It is not impossible, and even
in our representative system we sometimes hold a referendum so that
everybody can make their wishes known, however, it is not feasible
to hold a referendum every time the government needs to make a
decision about anything.
Elected officials could study issues carefully.
