The United States is a presidentialist Republic and Switzerland a parliamentary republic. In both there is participation of citizens in the election of their representatives and decision making in public affairs. In fact Switzerland is one of the countries with greater exercise of the so-called direct democracy, since citizens can through referendum, approve or reject the laws emanating from parliament. Therefore it is not correct to say that in those two countries there is no democracy. That the way in which the State is organized is different from that of Venezuela, that is something else, but democracy if there is one.
