Direct Democracy vs Constitutional Democracy

Paper details:

Compare/contrast direct democracy (also known as popular democracy) and constitutional democracy (also known as parliamentary democracy or representative democracy). Your paper should be 4-6 pages in length (not including title page or bibliography) and should examine the strengths and weaknesses of both systems. Please incorporate whatever data you feel is necessary to produce a strong, well researched essay. I do encourage you to look at recent real-world examples of challenges faced by both systems, which will certainly bolster your argument. Your analytical essay should be written in black 12-point Times New Roman font with standard spacing and margins. Please use APA formatting standards (in-text citations). As is always the case, you must cite your sources very liberally. Papers with few citations will be penalized; papers with no citations will be marked as a 0.
