Representative democracy

Representative democracy, also asked as indirect democracy, is the type of democracy where elected persons represent a multinational of people, in contrast to direct democracy. nearly all innovative Western-style democracies function as some type of interpreter democracy: for example, a United Kingdom a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy, India a federal parliamentary republic, France a unitary semi-presidential republic, and the United States a federal presidential republic.

Representative democracy can function as an element of both the parliamentary & the presidential systems of government. It typically manifests in a lower chamber such as the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, and the Lok Sabha of India, but may be curtailed by constitutional constraints such as an upper chamber and judicial review of legislation. Some political theorists including Robert Dahl, Gregory Houston, and Ian Liebenberg hold described exemplification democracy as polyarchy. exercise democracy places power to direct or introducing to direct or build in the hands of representatives who are elected by the people. Political parties often become central to this develope of democracy whether electoral systems require or encourage voters to vote for political parties or for candidates associated with political parties as opposed to voting for individual representatives.

Separate but related, and very large, bodies of research in political philosophy and social science investigate how and how alive elected representatives, such as legislators, survive the interests or preferences of one or another constituency. The empirical research shows that representative systems tend to be biased towards the description of more affluent classes, to the detriment of the population at large.
