Answer Hii!!
Representative democracy or indirect democracy is when people choose to vote for who will represent them in a parliament. This is the most common form of democracy found across the world. Its emphasis lies on protecting the rights of not only the majority of the people in the state, but also the minorities.

Representative democracy, also known as indirect democracy or representative government, is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy.
Representative democracy is the most common form of democracy because we have seen that in a democracy it is neither possible nor
necessary for people to govern directly.
. A majority is allowed to take decisions on behalf of all the people.
Even the majority does not rule directly. The majority of people rule
through their elected representatives.
This become necessary because:
Modern democracies involve such
a large number of people that it is
physically impossible for them to
sit together and take a collective
decision.
Even if they could, the citizen does
not have the time, the desire or the
skills to take part in all the
decisions.
Representative democracy is far better suited to dealing with a large electorate.
Direct democracy may work very well among a small group of people, but the larger the group the more difficult it is to run effectively. Representative democracy eliminates this difficulty by operating on a much smaller scale the majority of the time (via elected representatives of the electorate as a whole).
hope it helps.
