Do leaders have to follow the same rules as everyone in a direct democracy

1 answer:

5 0

Although direct democracy had been used in some of the colonies, the framers of the Constitution granted voters no legislative or executive powers, because they feared the masses would make poor decisions and be susceptible to whims. During the Progressive Era, however, governments began granting citizens more direct political power. States that formed and joined the United States after the Civil War often assigned their citizens some methods of directly implementing laws or removing corrupt politicians. Citizens now use these powers at the ballot to change laws and direct public policy in their states.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

The mentioned decision was about whether the corporations and unions can or can not contribute financially to the campaigns of the politicians they want to support as long as the corporations themselves are independent of the campaigns.

One of the strongest disagreements to this was that this action was going to allow the corporations to flood selected politicians' campaigns with money, maybe corporations outside of US.

One of the arguments that agree with the decision was that the corporations also have a right of free speech including supporting their chosen political candidates even though corporations are not individual people.

I hope this answer helps.
