Is a caucus or a convention closer to a direct democracy?

A caucus or a convention to choose whom a party will support during an election does not necessarily create a situation closer to a direct democracy. What it does do is cap the level at which democracy occurs. For example, John is a Republican. He wants Ben to become president. John votes in the caucus for Ben, but Ben does not win. Instead, Paul wins and becomes the Republican presidential candidate. At this point in time, John's opinion is thrown out the window. He is left with 3 choices : vote with his party, vote Democrat, or vote for some third party guy (notice how none of these are his original opinion?) So, no, a caucus or convention is not closer to a direct democracy. Hope this helps ^_^

What is the role of citizens in promoting democracy?

The Role of the Citizen in A DemocracyThe key role of citizens in a democracy is to participate in public life.Citizens have an obligation to become informed about public issues, to watch carefully how their political leaders and representatives use their powers, and to express their own opinions and interests.Voting in elections is another important civic duty of all citizens. But to vote wisely, each citizen should listen to the views of the different parties and candidates, and then make his or her own decision on whom to support.Participation can also involve campaigning for a political party or candidate, standing as a candidate for political office, debating public issues, attending community meetings, petitioning the government, and even protesting.A vital form of participation comes through active membership in independent, non-governmental organizations, what we call "civil society."These organizations represent a variety of interests and beliefs: farmers, workers, doctors, teachers, business owners, religious believers, women, students, human rights activists.It is important that women participate fully both in politics and in civil society.This requires efforts by civil society organizations to educate women about their democratic rights and responsibilities, improve their political skills, represent their common interests, and involve them in political life.In a democracy, participation in civic groups should be voluntary. No one should be forced to join an organization against their will.Political parties are vital organizations in a democracy, and democracy is stronger when citizens become active members of political parties.However, no one should support a political party because he is pressured or threatened by others. In a democracy, citizens are free to choose which party to support.Democracy depends on citizen participation in all these ways. But participation must be peaceful, respectful of the law, and tolerant of the different views of other groups and individuals.

What is a republic and how is it different from a democracy?

A republic is the rule of law: the rulers are included in a body of citizens from whom leaders are selected and all people are subject to the laws enacted by that body. A democracy is a regime type where power and legitimacy of power rests directly with the people; they select, check, and are represented by themselves as opposed to any singular social group (e.g.) nobility, monarchy, etc.)

Do citizens themselves vote on laws in democracy?

State laws, yes. Central gov. no The idea for central gov (the 3 branches of government that are in DC) is that the people vote for whom they think represents their ideals and that person who the population voted into office will then vote on laws that are congruent with their home states ideology. As for states it goes from the house>senate>governor>voting ballot This of course is American democracy If you were looking for a more broad answer about democracy as an ideology Yes citizens vote on virtually everything before it happens as in a democracy it is the citizens that control/"own" the government.
