Madison made the distinction between a republic and a direct democracy exquisitely clear in “Federalist No. 14”: “In a democracy, the people meet and exercise the government in person; in a republic, they assemble and administer it by their representatives and agents. A democracy, consequently, will be confined to a small spot. A republic may be extended over a large region.” https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/11/yes-consti... https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/αμεσοδημοκρατία |
