What Is a Liberal Democracy? Liberal democracy is a type of representative democracy. In this government system, representatives who have been elected by the people are given the power to decide on laws and political issues, guided of course by the constitution.
Direct democracy is a system of governance that started in ancient Athens, around 508 BCE. In it, all eligible citizens vote on decisions for the government rather than relying on representatives. A representative democracy, by contrast, is one in which voters select representatives who vote on their behalf.
