Answer:

A. Paul votes for the person he thinks will best represent his beliefs to make the laws for the nation

Explanation:

Let's first start off by defining an indirect democracy. An indirect democracy is a system of government in which citizens elect officials to represent their beliefs. These elected officials are the representatives of these citizens typically in a legislative or executive body. A key thing to note is that an indirect democracy is also known as representative democracy; this may help you grasp a clearer understanding.

Choice A embodies the definition above. Paul is voting for another person to represent his beliefs in a legislative body.

Choice B embodies a direct democracy, which in contrast to an indirect democracy, citizens vote directly on governmental matters.

Choice C isn't representative of democracy.

Choice D is too broad to classify as an indirect democracy. For all we know, Matthew could be an oligarch.

Answer:

Other countries that use indirect democracies include Great Britain, France, Australia, Canada, and a bunch more. If you think about it, even student governments in high school are a kind of indirect democracy. You do, after, all vote for candidates to represent you and your classmates.
