To what extent should the government be accountable to the people?

Pure Democracy exists only in a small state or nation, as that type of political government requires citizens to vote on all issues. That is not practical as a nation grows, so Representative Democracy (a republic) was created in which the citizens elect the members of the government and give them the power to run the daily activities of the nation, vote on legislation, defend the nation, etc. The people retain the power to vote in new representatives and replace government office holders who violate their agreement with the people by not representing them as required by the constitution or regulations of that office. In Democratic societies, the supreme power rests with the people, otherwise it is not a Democratic society.
