La communauté des citoyens exerce leur pouvoir de façon directe (sans représentants) à travers des [[institutions]].
direct democracy = citizens must have the final say
not to be mixed with :
- sortition[^1]
- deliberative democracy[^2]
- semi-direct democracy[^3]
- participative democracy[^4]
Instruments of Direct Democracy :
- [[référendum]] = how to build consent, tu choisis pas la question
- La Suisse fait beaucoup de référendums
s'oppose à la [[démocratie représentative]] et à la dictature
[[tirage au sort dans la Grèce Antique]]
[[hiérarchie des normes]] dans [[démocratie représentative]] et [[démocratie directe]]
| Parliament = [[constitution]] | Citizens = Constitutions |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------ |
| Parliament and citizens = Laws | Parliament and Citizens = Laws |
| Executive = regulations | Executive = regulations |
Citizens must control the constitutions
**Strong form of direct democracy**
- Citizen-initiated constitutional amendment
- Mandatory referendum for all changes in the constitution
Parliaments cannot overrule citizens's constitutional decisions
But can be overruled by citizens
They become implementing bodies under citizen-made constitutional law
In [[démocratie représentative]], constitutions = règles très consensuelles
Alors que dans la [[démocratie directe]] = it's what citizens vote on directly
-> constitutions are way broader in terms of content
ex : In Suisse, they have a minaret ban within the constitution
In direct democracy, citizens can :
- agenda setter
- policy-implementing player
- veto player
And parliament and government can do the same but without veto player
direct democracy = citizens hold initiative and veto rights
There is a rule about votations :
**low competitiveness[^5] + high conservative rule[^6] = stable and slow regime** = non democratic
high competitiveness + low conservative rule = instable and fast regime = democratic
The higher the competitiveness and the less conservative the rule, the more groups must be considered in negotiations
