Direct democracy is a form of governance in which citizens directly participate in decision-making and law-making, rather than through elected representatives. It allows for public votes on specific issues or policies, enabling more immediate expression of the people's will. The concept was first practiced in ancient Athens around the 5th century BCE, where free male citizens could gather to discuss and vote on legislative matters.
