all democracies have a two chamber system of representation
United States citizens live in a direct democracy

Answer 1

Answer: a United States senator votes on immigration law on behalf of your mother through indirect ballot.

The way our modern democracy works is indirect. As opposed to direct democracy, we do not personally vote on each issue that government addresses. Instead, we vote for our representatives. This means that, in a modern democracy, we elect a senator, who will then vote for us through indirect ballot.
