Explanation

Direct democracy is a form of government in which all members of a community/country/state actively participate in all decisions made there. On the other hand, there is indirect democracy, the evolution of direct democracy, in it, the decisions depend on a group of representatives elected by citizens, this modality of democracy has been adopted in most modern states.

Direct democracy has advantages over indirect democracy because it better responds to the interests of citizens as each of them will actively participate in the government, thus allowing decisions to be made and ensuring that their interests are taken into account.
