Direct democracy is the governing of a people BY the people. All members of a group, rather than representatives, meet to make decisions, observing political equality and majority rule.
An example of direct or participatory democracy would be a town meeting. Most towns allow the members of the town to participate in the meetings, which include voting on specific issues. These meetings allow a community to make decisions together.
