Constitutional democracy
Monitory democracy
Direct democracy
In a direct democracy, such as ancient Athens, all citizens (only adult males who had completed their military training; women, slaves and plebs were not citizens) are invited to participate in all political decisions. This form of democracy is no longer practiced. In this form of democracy citizens are continuously involved in the exercise of power and decision is by majority rule.
Representative democracy
In a representative democracy, representatives are elected by the people and entrusted to carry out the business of governance. Australia is a representative democracy.
Constitutional democracy
In a constitutional democracy a constitution outlines who will represent the people and how. Australia is also a constitutional democracy.
Monitory democracy
