A government in which people elect delegates to make laws is a Representative Government.
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.
Popular sovereignty is a political system where the people (or their elected representatives) hold the highest power in a country. In most Parliamentary systems the Government cannot make laws, conclude treaties, declare war etc. or even remain in power without the consent of Parliament.
The executive branch is responsible for carrying out laws in a parliamentary democracy. This branch is led by the prime minister, who is typically the head of government and oversees the administration of laws and government policies.
Popular sovereignty means that ultimate political authority resides with the people. This principle suggests that the legitimacy of a government is based on the consent and will of the governed population, who have the power to choose their leaders and determine their own laws and policies.
In the US, representative democracy is used in the form of a bicameral legislature (House of Representatives and Senate) where elected officials represent the interests of their constituents. Citizens vote for representatives who then make laws and policies on their behalf. This system allows for a balance between direct input from the people and the practical need for efficient decision-making.
A government in which people elect delegates to make laws is a Representative Government. A Democracy could be representative or direct.
