The modern concept of representation has evolved in Western democracies since the French Revolution. Along with this concept, we have witnessed the evolution of the decision-making process and the combination of the two often leads to an incomplete understanding of parliamentary systems. Here we analyse different forms of representation according to power relations from the voter to the representative. We also analyse the types of representative systems according to elections of representatives, the partial autonomy of representatives, the freedom of public opinion and forum for discussion. The Slovenian representative system is evaluated according to these principles.
