Plzzz help What is the system of representative government? where did this system come from?

Representative democracy, also known as indirect democracy or representative government, is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy. ... In it the power is in the hands of the representatives who are elected by the people. The first colonial legislature was the Virginia House of Burgesses, established in 1619. The colonies along the eastern coast of North America were formed under different types of charter, but most developed representative democratic governments to rule their territories. Those elected meet to debate and make laws on behalf of the whole community or society, instead of the people voting directly on laws and other debates.
