In a direct democracy, citizens vote directly on laws and policies, participating in all major decisions themselves. In contrast, a representative democracy involves citizens electing representatives who make decisions on their behalf. Direct democracy works best in small communities, while representative democracy is more practical for larger populations, where direct participation in every issue is challenging.
