Delegative Democracy

Delegative Democracy is a form of democratic regime in which elected leaders, while formally accountable to the electorate, exercise broad, largely unchecked authority during their tenure on the premise that their mandate constitutes a near-plenary delegation of popular sovereignty, thus distinguishing it from both liberal democracy and authoritarianism by its combination of majoritarian legitimacy and institutionalized weak constraints on executive power.
