what are the examples of participatory democracy and their pros and cons?
Participatory democracy means that people are able to participate in government decisions, that can be achieved by referendums for example, which in these days are the most known method of giving people possibility to participate.
The pros are that you get a more real democracy, because everybody says if a decision taken from the president or the parliment is good or not.
The cons are that it could cause a lot of trouble in a nation because of the difference of interests that each group in the society has.

Example – Marching on Washington to show you’re not satisfied.
Pro – we still have the right to peacefully assemble, and seek redress from our government.
Cons – MSM will under-report the attendance, and also tell their audience the only ones participating were angry white people, thereby implying it was racially motivated.
