🗳️ REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC
PAGE 1 OF 5 — ELECTED FOR YOU
YOUR VOICE, THEIR JOB
POWER BY ELECTION!
In a representative republic, citizens do not vote on every single law themselves. Instead, they elect officials to make decisions and pass laws on their behalf. Those elected leaders work full time studying problems, debating ideas, and writing rules for the whole country. The people still hold ultimate power because they choose who gets the job and can vote them out in the next election.

The United States, India, and dozens of other nations use representative systems. Citizens pick leaders, and those leaders pass laws in national and local assemblies.
