Answer 2

Soviet style government is a form of government in which the people are governed by directly elected soviets, which is Russian for "council."

• Using a delegate type of representation, the councils are directly answerable to their electors and constrained by their directives. A free mandate, in which the chosen delegates are merely accountable to their conscience, contrasts with such an obligatory mandate. As a result, delegates may be removed from office at any time or by vote (recall).
• Voters in a Soviet democracy are divided into smaller groups, such as employees of a firm, residents of a neighbourhood, or soldiers stationed at a barracks. They directly send the delegates in their capacity as public servants—that is, as lawmakers, administrators, and judges all in one. There is no separation of powers, in contrast to past democratic models, according to John Locke and Montesquieu.
• The councils are chosen at many levels, including: Delegates from the residential and commercial levels are chosen in plenary assemblies and elected to the local councils. These in turn have the power to promote members to the next level. At the state level, the delegation system still exists to the Congress of Soviets. As a result, the electoral processes work their way up from the bottom. Typically, the levels correspond to administrative levels.
