The correct answer is D.

Direct democracy is exercised when voters, instead of electing political representatives that would govern and conduct policymaking on their behalf, are directly involved and can choose to support those policies that they consider to be more appropiate. <u>Option D is the only situation in which the policy choice is directly made by citizens. </u>

<em>Options A, B or C cannot be correct because in all of them the decision-making is performed by a body or an institution constituted by representatives that have been elected by citizens: the Congress, the town hall or the President. </em>

Nowadays, most democracies in the world are representative democracies were citizens whose representatives through suffrage, in opposition to direct democracies.

Lisa [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Arthur Young states that there is a great difference between the “lower people” in England and France. Who does he blame for that difference?

He blamed the government of France. Why? Because it oppressed the French people and forced them to pay heavy taxation. That is why the woman had a sad wrinkled face that reflected pain and desperation.

The life of the woman Arthur Young met was of poverty, suffering, pain, and despair. She was a very poor woman like many French people from the Third State. In comparison, the lives of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and other members of the First and Second Estates were full of unnecessary luxuries and flamboyant styles, when the people of France were starving. That is why the French Revolution started, for the many injustices and poverty, while the French crown lived a luxurious life.
