Indirect democracy, or representative democracy, is the political system where representatives responsible to make laws for the citizens are elected by them. These representatives act on the behalf of the citizens in the parliament and voice their aspirations and problems. They get their seat in the parliament or state legislatures on the basis of general elections. Sometimes, these representatives further select representatives in the higher house of the parliament and the president. Most countries today have indirect democracies. Four countries having indirect democracy are India, the USA, Canada and the UK.
