It does not delegate its powers to any other person or representatives. Ancient Greek city-states had direct democracy.

In this form of democracy, people instead of directly taking any part in government, do so by and through their elected representatives. Cores of people of a country cannot assemble at one place and discuss matters and make law. Now all adults elect their representatives at regular intervals. Indirect democracy too has many forms: (i) Parliamentary or Cabinet Form; (ii) Presidential Form; (iii) Unitary Form, and (iv) Federal Form.
