Representational Democracy

Representational democracy is a system of government where citizens elect representatives to make decisions and create laws on their behalf. Instead of voting directly on every issue, people choose leaders who they believe will represent their interests and values. This structure allows for a manageable way to govern larger populations, as elected officials are responsible for understanding complex issues and relaying public concerns. Key features include regular elections, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that representatives serve the people’s interests and can be replaced if they do not fulfill their responsibilities.
