Representative Democracy has its origins in medieval Europe. Till that time, Absolute Monarchies existed in most countries. The Divine Rights of Kings Theory was in application. As time went by, monarchs in many countries like England started having Representative Assemblies that represented the population. Soon, these assemblies asked for a share in the decision-making process of the country leading to conflicts between the monarchs and the Assemblies for e.g. French Revolution. Most conflicts ended with reduced/power to the monarchs. The Representative assemblies, now become Political Representatives as they dealt with all government activities.
