There's multiple reasons why direct democracy was working in Athens and not in the United States. One of those reasons is the size of the population. Athens was a city-state, thus it was very small with very small population, so direct democracy was possible in practice. The United States are enormous, and the population is very big, which makes it very impractical for direct democracy to be practiced. Another reason is that Athens was not ruled by political parties, but a council, so it was much more united, while the United States have a big division, easily seen by region, where there's two contrasting political parties and supporters, which would make a chaos if direct democracy is implemented.

Answer:

People should consider voting for the best presidential candidate since he will be in charge of appointing the members representing the Supreme Court, judges who are in charge of the country's judiciary.

Explanation:

Through the constitution of America, the power of the president of the country is granted to make the election of the members of the supreme court of the United States. The president elects the leader of the court and the eight members and then the United States Senate confirms the election of the president.

The role of the supreme court judges is essential since they are the representatives of the United States judiciary, also they will be in charge of the organization and elections of the federal and peace judges of each state.

That is why citizens must consider who they will vote for since the president-elect will have the responsibility of electing the members of the supreme court and they will be in charge of leading the judiciary, so people must think of their best options for the benefit of citizens.

I hope this information can help you.
