Which of the following describes a direct democracy?
A. All of the people make the laws rather than elected representatives.
B. A small percentage of the people make the decision as to who will rule them.
C. Some of the people get to speak their mind directly to a legislative body.
D. Most of the people get to speak their mind directly to their ruler.
It would be when "A. All of the people make the laws rather than elected representatives," that best describes a direct democracy, since the people are "directly" influencing the trajectory of the state in this case.
