what are the pecularity of indirect democrazy ?
Democracies are sometimes divided into Direct and Indirect (also known as Representative democracy).In Indirect, or Representative democracy, citizens elect representatives to make laws on their behalf.This is what most modern countries have today. In many representative democracies (Canada, the USA, Britain, etc.), representatives are most commonly chosen in elections where a winning candidate has to win more votes than any other candidate. (That but does not mean that it must be a majority of the votes cast.) While existing representative democracies hold such elections to choose representatives, in theory other methods, such as sortition (more closely aligned with direct democracy), could be used instead. Also, representatives sometimes hold the power to select other representatives, presidents, or other officers of government (indirect representation).
