Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": True.

Step-by-step explanation:

While representative democracy -also know as indirect democracy, happens when people choose certain individuals so they create laws and policy on their behalf, direct democracy -or pure democracy, takes place when the very same citizens exercise the power through a General Assembly.
