direct democracy.

representative democracy is modern and direct democracy is ancient is the best answer. But it is not totally true because principles of direct democracy are still used (Switzerland, referendum, constitutional assemblies)

The problem is that direct democracy is more easily influenced by passions, emotions. Representantive democracy promotes much more stability
