Question

What type of democracy is found in a referendum

Answer 1

Short answer- direct democracy

From a political-philosophical perspective, referendums are an expression of direct democracy, but today, most referendums need to be understood within the context of representative democracy.

Answer 2

participatory democracy and deliberative democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two leading forms of direct democracy are participatory democracy and deliberative democracy. Semi-direct democracies, in which representatives administer day-to-day governance, but the citizens remain the sovereign, allow for three forms of popular action: referendum (plebiscite), initiative, and recall.
