Writing for the Staten Island Advance, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Unger suggests that it is:
While it is too simplistic to distill Jewish political theory down to a conviction in representative democracy, it is correct to posit that Judaism looks more favorably on this kind of governmental structure than it does on direct democracy…
Of course, as a revealed tradition, Judaism is founded upon Divine will. That is the Torah’s ultimate source of legitimacy. But, the Torah’s implementation as public policy for the Jewish people has what could be called “constitutional” tendencies. First of all, the Jewish people consented to accept the Torah itself.
Additionally, Maimonides wrote that the Babylonian Talmud was accepted by Israel because Israel itself invested authority in it. Furthermore, there is ample evidence by the Rishonim, the authoritative medieval expositors of Jewish law, supporting governance by communal bodies whose source of power comes from the consent of the governed.
