Understanding Democracy as a Mind Map
A mind map of democracy organises the system of government in which power rests with the people, usually through elected representatives. The main branches cover the core principles that define it, such as popular sovereignty, political equality and the rule of law. From there the map splits into forms of democracy, including direct and representative systems, and into the institutions that carry them out, such as legislatures, courts and electoral bodies.
- Principles: sovereignty, equality, rights and rule of law
- Forms: direct, representative and parliamentary systems
- Institutions: legislature, executive, judiciary and elections
- Participation: voting, civic engagement and free press
- Safeguards: constitutions, checks and balances, and accountability
Use the map to revise before an exam or to compare systems side by side. To make a version based on your own course reading, generate a personalised democracy map with CogniGuide.

What is the difference between direct and representative democracy?
