What circumstances might lead to people's rights being denied in a direct democracy

History
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
4 0
Direct democracy is when everyone in a country votes on something. People's rights might be denied because it would be a tyrannical rule of the majority. For example, there's only 15% African-Americans in the US. If the 85% Caucasian population decided to vote something that was against the rights of the African-Americans, they wouldn't be able to oppose this because they would be a minority.

How would the Soviet unions military strength have affected how the world thought about the Soviet Union?
Allisa [31]

The military strength of the Soviet Union was remarkable. The Soviet Union played a large role during World War II, helping the Allies win the war. Such military strength meant that other regions became more concerned about the capabilities of the nation.

Several other countries began to worry about the possibility of the Soviet Union spreading the ideas of communism all over the world. They were also concerned about the possibility of the country attacking those who refused to follow their ideals. The Soviet Union was also a source of concern because it was known that they had access to nuclear weapons. These elements meant that many countries in the world (particularly the United States) began to think of the Soviet Union more as a more dangerous and threatening menace, and less as an ally.
