The societies that you as a citizen, will be involved in are all representative democracies.  The laws that you will be subject to, are not created in a process in which you directly participate, but rather they are created in a process in which your representative directly participates. You elect someone to represent you, they then make and enforce laws that you are required to obey. Your local condo association, city government, school board, water district, county government, state government, and national government are all, representative democracies.
