<span>This is true. The British army was much larger and much more developed, but the colonial army managed to win by winning the support of the people and of foreigners. They were helped by British enemies such as France who was willing to give not only weapons and money, but also its navy and its generals with their war expertise. </span>
Every day, the US Congress makes thousands of decisions.
In a direct Democracy, the citizenry would need to all be involved in each of these decisions. There are so many, that it would basically turn into a full time job for all citizens.
So, to allow for the majority of people to engage in trade or commerce, indirect democracy allows the election of representatives who act on behalf of the citizenry.
The gran chaco is a plateau. hope this helps :)
