Answer:

The government in which a 'small group of people' is elected to represent a 'larger group' is called an indirect democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An indirect democracy is the one in which it is not possible for all the citizens to participate in the process of lawmaking.
  • Hence, they 'elect representatives' to represent them and make decisions in favor of the citizens that elected them.
  • Indirect democracy is believed to be the most effective form of governance.
