Final answer:
Citizens vote for people or delegates to represent them in policy-making in a Representative democracy or Republic, as opposed to voting directly on issues or laws.(option a)
Step-by-step explanation:
In the system of government where citizens vote for people or delegates, not on issues or laws themselves, it is known as a Representative democracy or a Republic.
In this model, unlike a direct democracy, individuals elect representatives such as members of Congress, the President, and local officials to make decisions and enact laws on their behalf.
This form of government is based on the principle of elected individuals representing the people, engaging in legislative decision-making while the citizens themselves do not directly vote on most policy matters.
