Why is the United States a
representative democracy and not a direct democracy?


Sagot :

Answer:

The US is a representative government solely because we have elected officials to represent the people's interests such as Legislators, Governors, and the President.

Explanation:

A direct, democracy means that the people are directly involved in the decision making process and are actually making the decisions. In a representative democracy, the people elect officials to make the decisions for that institution.
