Answer:

Direct Democracy: In this form of Democracy, the citizens have the right to "rule" and set up all laws and what the course of what the government takes. They have a "direct voice" in the government, hence "direct democracy". An example of this is Ancient Greece, which allowed each citizen to voice their opinion and vote for what they believe.

Indirect Democracy: In this form of Democracy, the citizens do not have the right to directly "rule". Instead, they have the power to vote for politicians that have the same beliefs as the supporting voters, who will push for the change the voter's want. An example of this is the United States of America, which allows citizens to vote for legislators, who then creates and tries to pass the rules the voters want.

What does Paine say the colonists have a right to do?

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Form a new government

Explanation:

A government of our own is our natural right: And when a man seriously reflects on the precariousness of human affairs, he will become convinced, that it is infinitely wiser and safer, to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting event to time and chance . . . Ye that oppose independence now, ye know not what ye do; ye are opening a door to eternal tyranny, by keeping vacant the seat of government. There are thousands, and tens of thousands, who would think it glorious to expel from the continent, that barbarous and hellish power.
