indirect democracy
In a direct democracy the people act as decision makers on all major issues. This can be at the national level or the village level. Everything of importance is voted on by all of the people. In a representative democracy the people vote on representatives who act on their behalf either leading on issues or following the feelings of the people. There are problems with both approaches. A direct democracy must rely on someone to properly phrase the issue before the community. This phrasing is very important and people will not agree on the wording. A representative democracy suffers from the problem of the representatives following their own insights and intuition on topics versus voting for the precieved will of the people. Most units of government operate under some form of representative democracy.
Democracy is a system of government where all eligible citizens have a say in decision-making. Representative democracy is a form of democracy where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf.
People in New England continue their tradition of direct democracy through town meetings where residents come together to discuss and vote on local issues. This form of local government allows residents to participate directly in decision-making processes. Additionally, initiatives such as the use of referendums and citizen petitions also contribute to the continuation of direct democracy in New England.
Direct democracy is a form of democracy where citizens directly participate in decision-making processes, voting on policies and laws themselves rather than through elected representatives.
Tutelary (or guarded or protected) democracy is a type of diminished democracy in which the elected government has no effective power to govern and is in need of protection. Examples might be Iraq or Afghanistan though I'm not sure if one can speak of democracy in these cases.

You may be wondering exactly what Direct Democracy is and how it works. Direct Democracy is a form of government that is said to be by the people, but also for the people. It is a type of government that the people will make the decisions for themselves rather than to have the decisions made by representatives. Another term used to describe Direct Democracy is pure democracy or "true" democracy.
