Answer 2

IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY, ALL ELIGIBLE CITIZENS HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN MAKING THE DECISION THAT AFFECT THEM. CANADIAN CITIZENS NORMALLY ELECT SOMEONE TO REPRESENT THEM IN MAKING UN DECISION AT THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

THIS IS THE REASON FOR CALLING DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT AS REPRESENTATIVE.
