Which form of government allows all citizens to vote on every decision?

• A. Representative Democracy
• B. Autocracy
• C. Direct Democracy
• D. Oligarchy

Answer: (C)

Direct democracy is the form of government where all eligible citizens participate directly in voting on laws and policies. This means each person has a vote on every decision, so the collective will is expressed immediately through the ballot. The description of “all citizens vote on every decision” fits this system best because power and policy are decided directly by the people, not by representatives.

In contrast, a representative democracy means people elect others to make decisions on their behalf; autocracy concentrates power in one person; and oligarchy concentrates power in a small group. Direct democracy emphasizes broad, direct participation, which is why it matches the idea of every citizen voting on each issue.
