In a direct democracy, the public policy is determined by representatives elected by the people. TRUE OR FALSE

OpenStudy (kohai):

Direct democracy, sometimes called "pure democracy," is a form of democracy in which the people themselves, rather than elected representatives, determine the laws.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True

OpenStudy (kohai):

It's false. Representative democracy is when people elect someone to represent them. In a direct democracy, like in Greece, people represent themselves.

OpenStudy (cenaida):

THEN ITS FALSE? because that would be a representative democracy wouldn't it?

OpenStudy (kohai):

Yes, exactly @cenaida

OpenStudy (cenaida):
