Answer:

  • The representative democracy represents the whole democracy and the power is in hands of the representatives chosen by the democracy.
  • The oligarchy has the power vested in hands of small group of people who are not represented by the people but by the power either being money or being military.
  • Representative democracy holds the power to discontinue the representative from representation.
  • In oligarchy no such right is exercised and the power may remain forever.
