While direct democracy and representative democracy are both forms of rule ‘by the people’, representative democracy also involves which of the following? select one: a. provisions for first-past-the-post voting b. all laws being decided by public referendum c. the election of lawmakers to legislate on the people's behalf d. juries of one's peers

Hey there!

The ancient Greeks used direct democracy, and we use representative. The difference is that first of all, with a direct democracy, the opinions of the people directly affect the outcome of the decision being made. Those eligible to vote voted in assemblies, and the response of the majority ruled.

Here- it's a bit different. We use representative democracy- meaning that we elect representatives to vote and speak for us on the behalf of the people.

There's our difference right there. A direct democracy - like I said is where decisions directly affect outcomes, as opposed to where representatives are elected on behalf of the people to make laws and represent their voters and territory.

Your answer is C.
