The Spanish-American relations was affected by the yellow press because of the Spanish-American war - that is considered the first “media war”.

The Spanish-American war was fought in 1898 between the US and Spain. It started because of the explosion of USS Maine that was in Havana Harbor and the main issue of the war was Cuba independence.

When the USS Maine exploded “New York Journal” published a story blaming the Spanish for what occurred. The newspaper used eye-catching headlines, sensational stories with the feature of yellow.

This influenced the public’s opinion who demanded intervention and pushed the US to enter the conflict with Spain over Cuba.

What circumstances might lead to people's rights being denied in a direct democracy

Harrizon [31]

Direct democracy is when everyone in a country votes on something. People's rights might be denied because it would be a tyrannical rule of the majority. For example, there's only 15% African-Americans in the US. If the 85% Caucasian population decided to vote something that was against the rights of the African-Americans, they wouldn't be able to oppose this because they would be a minority.
