Answer:

Direct democracy, also called pure democracy, 1 is a form of democracy, in which power is exercised directly by the people in an assembly. Depending on the powers of this assembly, the citizenship could approve or repeal laws, as well as elect public officials. Direct democracy was exercised in Ancient Greece, and at present testimonially in the annual assembly of the citizens of some Swiss high mountain cantons.2

Due to the impossibility that all the voters of a country can meet in time and place, the application of direct democracy at all stages of decision-making has not had practical application. For this reason, the common form of application is through semi-direct democracy, where there is a representative government and direct democracy mechanisms are available. This type of democracy is mainly applied in Switzerland.3
