Direct democracy

Landsgemeinde of the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, example for direct democracy in Switzerland

Direct democracy, which is also called pure democracy, is a democracy in which the decisions are not taken by representatives. All decisions are voted on by the people.[1] When a budget or law needs to be passed, then the idea goes to the people. Governments of modern countries rarely make laws this way.
