Types of Democracy

Democracy can be organized in different ways: in a direct democracy, citizens vote directly on laws and policies themselves, without going through elected representatives, a system practical mainly in very small communities or for specific ballot measures; in a representative democracy, citizens elect representatives who make laws and policy decisions on their behalf, the model most large democracies, including the United States, actually use. Some systems blend both, allowing citizens to vote directly on certain issues, like ballot initiatives or referendums, while still relying on elected representatives for most day-to-day governing.
