Answer:

In direct democracy we have decisions voted and approved/disapproved by the citizens, as in indirect democracy we have representatives elected to deliberate on public matters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The democratic system present in countries like Brazil, where responsibilities and accountability are decisive in sustaining the whole process, is only possible through the representatives elected and referendums that consult over publicly sensitive matters such as firearms permits to regular citizens.
