Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy. A representative democracy is modern, and a direct democracy is ancient. A representative democracy works better in large groups, and a direct democracy works better in small groups.

Where did the idea of direct democracy come from?
Direct democracy has its roots in ancient Athens, where citizens directly participated in decision-making processes. The concept was further developed during the Enlightenment period in Europe, with thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau advocating for greater citizen engagement in governance. Today, direct democracy is practiced in various forms in countries such as Switzerland through referendums and initiatives.
What type of democracy is parcticed in United States today?
The united states is a Democratically elected constitutional Republic The statement above is the theoretically correct answer. In practice there is little if any democracy in the USA now, and the minority in power is the only minority being protected by the "constitutional republic". With electronic voting machines, and questionalbe ballot processing in almost every state, only the illusion of democratic voting is left. Check out Pericles for the first real democracy that worked exceedingly well, with citizen soldiers and the ability to replace corrupt leadership at any time, until the elistist "republicans" assassinated these leaders and took over again. The botton line seems to be a nation is only as good as the integrity of its citizens and their ability to manage/limit their government. From what I see representative democracies like Switzerland and the UK where there is actual debate (and not unopposed speech making like the US) is the best form of government.
Is it easy to oppress a population in a democracy?
Not if it still is a fully functional democracy with - very importantly - recourse to an independent judiciary. But there are - and have been - several countries that technically remained democracies, but where the leader of a party that had an overwhelming majority used this position to practically rule as a dictator and oppress his political adversaries. Turkey's President Erdogan and Zimbabwe's President Mugabe today are cases in point.
