Detailed Solution

Representative democracy means the majority is allowed to take decisions on behalf of all the people.
In most countries we consider democratic, all people do not rule. Instead, a majority is allowed to take decisions on behalf of the people. In some cases, the majority does not lead directly, but most people govern through their elected representatives. For example, in India, due to its vast population. It is tough to let everyone participate in the decision-making process. So, to make it easier, people elect their representatives, and those representatives take their issues to parliament and join on their behalf in the decision-making process. Hence, India also has a representative democracy.
