Detailed explanation-1: -Only the representatives are directly involved in the government. In a direct democracy, all citizens are directly involved in making laws and running the government. This was the kind of participation Rousseau believed citizens should have, so he was in favor of direct democracy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rousseau defines democracy as a government in which the sovereign. straightway may deliver the power to all the people or to the larger part of the. people in such a way that the citizen magistrates may outnumber the simple. private citizens.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rousseau’s thought stemmed from his notion of human nature. In contrast to some of his forerunners and contemporaries (such as Montesquieu and Thomas Hobbes), he believed that humans possessed a natural goodness and that caring properly for oneself did not exclude concern for the welfare of others.
