Correct Response: D. In direct democracies, the people themselves—not their representatives—enact laws and make all major governmental decisions. The town meeting form of government is one of the few political systems that enable citizens to make the laws that govern them. The council-manager (A) and mayor-council (C) forms of government are representative democracies in which elected councils function as the main legislative body. In the commission form of government (B), another example of representative democracy, a small elected commission has the primary law-making responsibility.
