    systems of indirect democracy developed in which the people elected their
    representatives. These representatives made decisions on behalf of the people who
    elected them

    4. What is meant by representative democracy?


    Jb: representative democracy is the system of government wherein people choose
    their representatives, to represent them in the Parliament and actively participate in
    running the government. a right to speak and decisions were taken by a majority vote
    of all those present.

    5. What happened in Europe at the end of the eighteenth century?


    Jb: Toward the end of the eighteenth century democracy began to re-emerged in
    Europe. The all- powerful rule of monarchs was threatened by the French Revolution,
    and to prevent it spreading to other countries more people were allowed to vote.
    6. What are the differences between democracy as an ideal and democracy as a system?
    Jb: Democracy as an ideal means the people who supported this view were mainly
    those who were fighting for a working class party. They saw democracy as a way to
    give more people the opportunity to take part in government. They wanted power and
    control to be shared more equally so that all people could be involved in determining
    their own lives. From this view, democracy is an ideal to be worked towards. The
    political system would need to change to include more people in more ways of
    making decisions.

    The view of the democracy as a system was supported by those already in power
    in the government; Liberals and Conservatives. They saw democracy as a way of
    choosing a government. Democracy for them meant giving people the vote so they
    could elect leaders. Once the vote had been extended to include all adults, then
    democracy had been achieved. In this sense of democracy people do not have any
    direct part in government, only an indirect one through their elected representatives.
