Which of the following best describes the United States government? A. Dictatorship B. Executive rule C. Direct democracy D. Representative democracy

Sagot :

The correct answer is D)Representative democracy.

The United States would be considered a representative democracy because we elect individuals to make rules/decisions for us. There are several examples of this, including the election of members of Congress and the President.

These two branches of government are responsible for creating and enforcing national laws. Congress votes on these laws and then the President is responsible for signing them into law. Individual citizens do not have the chance to vote on these laws. That is why the United States is considered a representative democracy.

Answer:

D. Representative democracy

Explanation:

Representative democracy is a type of democracy based on the principle of elected officials who represent a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy. Almost all modern Western democracies are representative democracies; for example, the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy, Ireland is a parliamentary republic, and the United States is a federal republic.
