Direct democracy

A direct democracy was a system of government. In a direct democracy, the people chose representatives who would assemble (for instance, in a world Senate) and vote about global matters. It was considered an optimist government, as it valued the opinion of each of its components.

The planet H'nemthe had a direct democracy. The H'nemthes formed a Senate with electees selected by local governments. Commonly female H'nemthes had the higher elected positions, because male H'nemthes were prone to die suddenly. Young female H'nemthes commonly studied political sciences and history to prepare for their roles as representatives of their society.
