Because in a representative democracy citizens choose people to choose their leader for them and in an oligarchy a group of people are making decisions

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
