    constitutional monarchies are democracies; they are not direct democracies‚ however‚ which do away with elected representatives in favour of rule by popular referendum (no country today uses such a system). So‚ all democracies have elected representatives.  At its most basic‚ a democracy is a system of government where leaders are chosen by election‚ but there are other criteria.
