Question:
Direct democracy is represented by which of the following?
A. Tribal Council
B. Parliament
C. Trade Union
D. Community Organisation
Options:
Only A B and D
Only A B and C
Only A C and D
All of the above
Correct Answer:
Only A C and D
Explanation:
In a direct democracy, all citizens, without the intermediary of elected or appointed officials, can participate in making public decisions. Such a system is clearly only practical with relatively small numbers of people – in a community organisation or tribal council, for example, the local unit of a trade union, where members can meet in a single room to discuss issues and arrive at decisions by consensus or majority vote.
