How is a direct democracy different from a representative democracy and how are they alike?

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.


What is the difference between democracy and 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.

What is tutelary democracy?

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.
