Key Points

 Representative Democracy:

  • In a representative democracy, the people elect officials to create and vote on laws, policies, and other matters of government on their behalf.
  • In this manner, representative democracy is the opposite of direct democracy, in which the people themselves vote on every law or policy considered at every level of government.
  • Representative democracy is typically employed in larger countries where the sheer number of citizens involved would make direct democracy unmanageable.
  • Elected representatives may also have the power to select other government leaders, such as a prime minister or president.
  • Most democracies in the world today use the parliamentary system as opposed to a presidential system like that used in the United States.
  • A few examples among the many parliamentary democracies are Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Latvia, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.

From the above discussion, it can be concluded that only It is an indirect form of democracy and Presidential democracy is a type of representative democracy are correct.
