Answer 1

In a direct democracy, power is inherited rather than allocated through elections.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Direct democracy means where the citizens can participate in making decisions. Here citizens possess the right to vote against issues instead of a candidate or party. Here everyone has the right to take decisions. It’s a participatory kind of democracy where the decisions are affected by the people.

If a group is affected because of an issue they can directly apply for a recall. Here the direct interaction of people plays a vital role. In most countries this direct democracy is not in practice as it was outsmarted by bunch of elites who wanted to monopolize power.
