As part of the United States, and not being a city-state in ancient Greece, Madison, WI, tends toward elected positions (indirect democracy).
Also, when I lived in Madison I observed many stickers that told me to vote Feingold, who would then presumably go on to vote on the issues. This is further evidence that Madison favors indirect democracy.
What else can I help you with?
Men such as James Madison felt that only a true democracy would be good for America?
The Founding Fathers were not in favor of direct democracy. In fact, some, like Alexander Hamilton, actually favored something on the lines of a constitutional monarchy. The majority of delegates to the Constitutional Convention favored a form of democracy we know as representative democracy. You will note that the original Constitution provides only the House of Representatives to be elected by the people. The President was chosen by the Electoral College and Senators were appointed by their state legislatures. A representative democracy works better in a large nation. Direct or "true" democracy works well in small nations. An example of direct democracy today might be town meetings held in small towns in New England.

How does the participation of citizens differ under monarchy direct democracy and representative democracy?
Direct Democracy is established on the basis of voters, there are no representatives that "make" your vote in legislature. Votes depend on the outcome of voters and their decisions, not the decisions of representatives elected by the people. Direct democracy usually only works in smaller populations of people. Like in Switzerland, for instance, they're probably the best example of a direct democracy. In the United States we have a representative democracy, we elect officials to make decisions that are supposed to be in our favor.
What are some disadvantages of indirect rule?
Some disadvantages of indirect rule include the perpetuation of traditional power structures that may not align with modern values of equality and democracy, the potential for exploitation by local elites collaborating with colonial powers, and the limited opportunities for local populations to participate in governance and decision-making processes. Additionally, indirect rule may lead to cultural erosion and the marginalization of indigenous languages and customs in favor of the colonizer's language and culture.
