DEMOCRACY 2 AND QUESTIONARY
Democracy in its purest or most ideal form would be a society in which all adult citizens have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives.
The most common form of modern democracy is parliamentary democracy in which the voting public takes part in elections and chooses politicians to represent them in a Legislative Assembly. The members of the assembly then make decisions with a majority vote. A purer form is direct democracy when the voting public makes direct decisions or participates directly in the political process. Elements of direct democracy exist on a local level in many countries, such as the use of referendums in California and other US States, and Open Town Meetings in New England states and Landsgemeinden in two Swiss Cantons, though these systems often coexist with representative assemblies. Usually, this includes equal (and more or less direct) participation in the proposal, development and passage of legislation into law.[1] It can also encompass social, economic and cultural conditions that enable the free and equal practice of political self-determination.[citation needed]
QUESTIONARY
1. How would democracy be in its purest or most ideal form?
2. What is the most common form of modern democracy?
3. How do the members of the assembly make decisions?
