1A. The difference between a direct democracy and a republic is __________. 1A. There are a few differences between a direct democracy and a republic. In a direct democracy, all citizens vote on all laws. Citizens debate and discuss the proposed laws in an assembly where everyone can talk and debate. A republic is a form of government that is more efficient than a direct democracy. In a republic, citizens are represented by leaders who make the important decision for them. Laws are created faster and more easily since only a few people are involved. In a democratic republic, citizens are able to elect leader that they trust.

When the laws are written, everyone is able to know the laws. This is fair to everyone because they are able to know what to do and what not to do. They wont end up being punished for rules that they didn’t even know were actual rules. Also, when the laws are written down, the rules are more stable and wont just change because leaders forgot or just felt like changing it.

The peasants found other work as merchants and became more powerful than the knights and nobles.
