Answer:

Advantages:

Initiatives, referenda, and recalls provide citizens with powerful tools to participate directly in governing their states. Although direct democracy is not the dominant form of democracy in the United States, it forces representatives to act more honestly and professionally knowing that citizens could have a referendum on a proposal or even recall a representative from office.

Disadvantages:

Direct democracy can often take a long time to initiate. Even a good idea that could potentially have a large amount of support may take a long time to gain enough traction to become an official proposal.

Also, the average citizen may not be fully aware of the facts surrounding an issue or might go to the polls to vote without knowing anything about the proposals on the ballot. This means that uninformed citizens may not be making the best decision for their communities.

Direct initiatives and referenda present another potential problem in that this model provides no safeguard for minority rights. A majority of the people might vote yes on a proposal, but this doesn’t guarantee that it is a good idea for everyone who might be affected by the proposal.

What made the photo of the Migrant Mother so powerful?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The image of a worried but resilient mother was so powerful that it prompted the government to send 20,000 pounds of food to relieve starvation in a migrant worker camp. It may have also helped inspire John Steinbeck's literary classic The Grapes of Wrath.

Explanation:

From the moment it first appeared in the pages of a San Francisco newspaper in March 1936, the image known as “Migrant Mother” came to symbolize the hunger, poverty and hopelessness endured by so many Americans during the Great Depression.

In 1936 Florence Thompson allowed Dorothea Lange to photograph her family because she thought it might help the plight of the working poor. One of them, Migrant Mother, became the iconic photo of the Depression, and one of the most familiar images of the 20th century.
