Direct democracy :
Ancient Athens, Switzerland, and the United States. Perhaps the most prominent example of direct democracywas ancient Athens. Although the Athenians excluded women, slaves, and foreigners from voting, the Athenian democratic system required all citizens to take a vote on all major issues.
Indirect Democracy :
With that said, the U.S. does have someelements of direct democracy, such as referendums and initiatives. Other countries that use indirect democraciesinclude Great Britain, France, Australia, Canada, and a bunch more. If you think about it, even student governments in high school are a kind of indirect democracy
