Indirect democracy means that people don't vote themselves, but that they choose representatives to vote for them. 

It's typically more efficient than direct democracy, because less people need to directly participate - only the representatives. 

however, the disadvantage is that some people's voices won't be heard - so the correct answer is B, for example when their representatives are not aware of them.

The correct answer is B) it is not a guarantee that individual voices will be considered.

The statement that best describes a disadvantage of indirect democracy over direct democracy is that it is not a guarantee that individual voices will be considered.

In an indirect democracy, like in the United States, people vote to elect their representatives in Congress and for the President of the country. These representatives are the ones who make rules and have to listen to the people to know their demands and necessities in order to create better laws. But the disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that individual voices will be heard and then, considered. Representatives had to do what benefits the majority of people.

The other options of the question were A) it is inefficient when there are few issues to discuss, C) it require more time and energy from the citizens, and D) it works better for large populations than for small ones.

Explain the significance of god gold and glory in exploration
mojhsa [17]
By God, Gold, and Glory, I assume you mean them as three reasons for exploration. Spreading monotheistic religion (I.e. God) was a common reason for exploration due to the large influence religion (especially Christianity) had on people. Many explorers were missionaries, who attempted to convert people from all over the world to their religion. Secondly, gold (or wealth) was another reason for exploration. Everyone in the past wanted wealth just as much as people today wanted wealth, so the promise of it was almost certain to get people to go and explore (see the California Gold Rush as an example.) Finally, glory was the last major reason for exploration. Everyone wanted to be famous for something as much as people today do, and what better way to do that than to discover a place not yet documented on a map? People who got back form exploration alive were often treated as heroes, mainly because of the kinds of things they had to endure during their trip.
