This task links to the Course Assessment Specification (CAS): Democracy - arguments for and against direct democracy.

One of the most important skills in Higher Politics is the ability to compare and analyse ideas. With this in mind, we need to move towards comparing the two forms of democracy: direct and representative. We need to consider which form of democracy is superior and the reasons for this.  

The video lesson above offers an analysis of direct democracy.

You should watch the video and use the Comparative Analysis Grid (attached above) to help you to organise your ideas.
