Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\tt\underline{Answer}}$

Democracy:

Democracy is a form of government in which the rulers are elected by the people.

Different types of democracies

1. Direct democracy
2. Representative democracy
3. Constitutional democracy
4. 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:

Political scientist John Keane suggests that a new form of democracy is evolving in which government is constantly monitored in its exercise of power by a vast array of public and private agencies, commissions and regulatory mechanisms. See Life and Death of Democracy by John Keane, published by Simon and Schuster UK in 2009.

Answer 2

In a direct democracy, the people directly deliberate and decide on legislation. In a representative democracy, the people elect representatives to deliberate and decide on legislation, such as in parliamentary or presidential democracy. Liquid democracy combines elements of these two basic types.
