i believe it is representative government ================ No. What we have now in the so-called 'free world' is representative government. We elect representatives (e.g., to the House of Representatives or the House of Commons) to 'represent' us and govern for us. The type of government, where all issues are decided by a vote of all the eligible voters is called a 'direct democracy.' I'm not aware of any country in modern history that has or had a full direct democracy. Some of the city-states in ancient Greece had something akin to it. Some of the states in the US have a limited and modified form of it (e.g., the 'Proposition' states). Direct democracy might work in smaller community organizations, but it can be a cumbersome process. It requires everyone to keep up to speed on all issues at all times, something even the hard-core keeners often find hard to do.

The Greeks called this form of government a democracy.
Because they do!
a government in which the citizens elect their leaders
This is a democracy.
An autocratic government is one in which leaders rule without any restrictions. In this form of government, power is concentrated in the hands of a single leader or a small ruling elite, allowing them to make decisions without accountability or limitations. This often results in limited political freedom and civil liberties for the citizens.
Yes. A republic is a form of government in which the citizens choose their leaders and the people (or at least a part of its people) have an impact on its government.
Representative Democracy is a system of government in which citizens elect representatives, or leaders, to make decisions about the laws for all the people.
a democracy
Provided the leaders are elected in free and open election in which all the adult citizens of a country can participate, the government is a Democracy. However where there is no universal election of leaders by ALL the people (eg China) the government is a Dictatorship. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The form of government in which "the power belongs to the people" is called a Democracy. It is a political form of government carried out either directly by the people (direct democracy) or by means of elected representatives of the people, as if the people and the elected person were one.
