A direct democracy may allow a majority to dominate and silence a minority. This kind of problem can be remedied by providing all citizens with basic rights. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are examples of basic rights.
In Europe, kings sometimes claimed that their power was from God. They ruled by divine right.
The Holocaust was the killing of millions of Jews and others during Hitler’s rule over Germany. Hitler ruled under a dictatorship.
<span>1. A direct democracy involves democracy in its purest form. All individuals participate at an equal level. This means that all people vote on every single aspect. A drawback of this is when a society becomes too large and it is difficult to keep track of all of the votes or to find a common ground among the people. This can be resolved by having home ballots so that people can mail in their votes.
2. The divine right of kings is the idea that the king was in that position as a direct result of God's will and God's doing.

past the extent of one's own advantages and considers the interests of others.
