Is representative democracy a limited or unlimited government?

Representative democracy is a limited government because power is distributed among elected officials who operate within the constraints of a constitution or legal framework. These officials are accountable to the people through elections and are subject to checks and balances, preventing the concentration of power in any one individual or group.


Can a dictatorship also be considered a democracy?

No, a dictatorship and a democracy are two different forms of government. In a dictatorship, power is concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group, with limited or no input from the people. In a democracy, power is held by the people, who have the ability to participate in decision-making through free and fair elections.


What country is an example of limited government and democracy?

A limited government is one whose legalized force and power is restricted through delegated and enumerated authorities. In many cases, such as the United States, it is a constitutionally limited government, bound to specific principles and actions by a state or federal constitution.


What would most likely be a part of a limited government?

A constitution that outlines the powers and limitations of the government, separation of powers among different branches, and protection of individual rights through checks and balances.


What is the definition for direct democracy?

Direct democracy is a form of democracy that is based on the direct, unmediated and continuous participation of citizens in the tasks of government. It therefore obliterates the distinction between government and the people, being a system of popular self-government. Participation is direct in that people make policy decisions, not merely choosing who will rule on their behalf. Participation is unmediated in that people are the government and participation is continuous in that people engage in politics on a regular and ongoing basis.
