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 did the age of reason writers and speakers influence people to action and revolution??
Helga [31]

Answer:

The Age of Reason and Enlightenment started off in the eighteenth century. This period has its root in France, thus giving it an alternate name of French Enlightenment. Even though this Age is said to have been started in the 1700s, the causes behind it started as long as two to three centuries before it. The dictatorship of the Church was the key reason behind the rebellion of the people.

Thats just an opinión though.
