Answer:

In ‘Representative Democracy' people vote to choose their representatives (Aka Elected representatives) to represent them and take decisions on their behalf. It is also called ‘Indirect democracy’.

On the other hand, in a ‘Direct democracy’ people collectively discuss and vote to take decisions for themselves.

Explanation:

Let me give you an example.

In a village of 200 people, all the people meet every Sunday. They discuss and decide whether the village needs a new road, new school etc.

In a village of 2000 people it is impossible for them to meet and discuss every issue. So every 200 of them elect a person, in total 10 of them are elected. These 10 people meet every Sunday, they discuss and decide whether the village needs a new road, new school etc.
