Question

In a direct democracy, who votes on government policy?o

Answer 1

Answer:

The citizens of the country.

Explanation:

In a direct democracy (an example can be ancient Athens located in present-day Greece), in which all citizens within a certain age can take part in and set up laws & rules that the government would then institute on the people. Effectively, each person has a direct role in the government. However, note that in the Athenian version, women and slaves/servants were not able to vote.

A true direct democracy would allow anybody who was a citizen of the country to vote directly for the laws, agreements with other country, so on and so forth. The US is not an example of direct democracy, because while there are laws that we can vote for and voice our individual opinions, we generally vote for representatives that act as a voice for the majority of the people. So the US is technically not a direct-democracy, rather, an indirect democracy.
