QUESTION 2
2.1 Direct democracy means that all major political decisions are taken by the people themselves. This form
of democracy may work in a different, small political community where people can get together on a
regular basis (e.g. in a town hall) to discuss and decide important matters of common interest.
Representative democracy, on the other hand, is characterized by the fact that the citizens of a state
elect the representatives of their choice, and these representatives then express the will of the people.
Representative democracy is created via a process of elections which should be held at regular intervals
and reasonably frequently. Note that although direct democracy is suitable for a small community,
representative democracy is suitable for a modern state which covers a wide geographic area.
2.2 A democracy is characterized by the following:
Free and regular elections
A multiparty system
