People have a say in the government, take part in the law-making process, vote for proposals, and reach decisions on a majority basis.
The Founders of the United States admired the Roman Republic. They gave lawmaking power to an elected Congress similar to the Roman Senate.
A republic and direct democracy are nothing alike.. NO SIMILARITEES!
they are similar because democracy and oligarchy have some sort of laws
They are both forms of government that people allow to dictate their way of life, beyond that there is not much similarity. The two are near polar opposites.
