The correct answer is option 4, Switzerland. Direct democracy is a form of government where citizens have the power to make decisions on legislative matters directly, rather than through elected representatives. In Switzerland, the citizens have the right to participate in decision-making through referendums and initiatives. A referendum allows citizens to vote on specific laws or policies, while an initiative allows citizens to propose new laws or amendments to existing laws. The Swiss political system emphasizes citizen participation and decentralization of power, which is why it is often considered a model for direct democracy. Although Russia, India, and France have different forms of democratic governance, they do not have the same level of citizen participation in decision-making as Switzerland does.
