in most systems the representatives are held to the will of the people. how effective that is is another question, but I think in general these kinds of systems result in laws, that represent the will of the people, or at least the will of the people 20 years ago, since judicial systems usually are slow
No they are not. Representative democracy is a sham. Just look at the global support for Gaza and the will of representatives.
Representative democracy is a tool of the elite to fool people into thinking they have a say, when it strips them of all power and gives them a meaningless crum every X years to have a fraction of a voice to choose one person to represent all their issues.
Anything short of direct democracy is not a democracy.
maybe the us is, because there are too many degrees if seperation, but there are others that do it like that and it works.
direct democracy is not the solution, politians being held accountable and education is the solution IMHO.
i think you’re underestimating the stupidity of the public honestly. there are so many emotional topics, that regular folks dont understand the consequences of. I think having full time politicians can be the right way, if done well. they would be pros at legislature, not in corruption, like it is today.
Legality is a system designed independently of the will of the people.
Rules as decided on and agreed to by people in their community are fine, the state legal system is not.

There are others that do it better than the US, none that do it well.
Direct Democracy is the only true democracy, representatives will never and can never represent every constituent only they themselves can.
