Atahualpa was the ruler of Quito and subsequently ruled the Inca Empire before Spanish conquest. During the Spanish conquest, Atahualpa offered to fill a large room with gold and silver as a ransom to regain his freedom and to avoid being killed by the Spaniards. Despite paying this ransom, Atahualpa was then executed by the conqueres as he was deemed too much of a liability. Before being executed he converted to Catholocism and was strangled to death.

b. direct government by citizens was impractical, even though, in theory, direct democracy was more desirable than representative government.
Explanation:
Direct government made by the people for the people is what democracy was supposed to be about in the time but that model of work was impractical enough to not be considered seriously by the founding fathers who instead sought to make it a representative democracy.

Answer:
Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin's opportunity deliquency theory.
Explanation:
Deliquency and Opportunity theory states that "American culture generally advances a notion that if we work hard and are smart and capable, we will find suitable employment, but Cloward and Ohlin noted that this isn't always the case. There aren't always enough jobs for everyone, our school systems don't prepare students equally, and we don't all live in neighborhoods that provide us with opportunities.
The opportunities we have available to us determine in many ways if we will turn to delinquency or conform to more legitimate paths. According to Cloward and Ohlin, young people turn to delinquency when they have been boxed out of more legitimate opportunities. An example is when working class young people cannot find a good paying job or achieve middle class status, and they turn to delinquency in an effort to create a better life."
