Answer:

Athenian democracy would be a really bad idea. Now, we have something called an indirect democracy. This means that citizens choose leaders and they speak on our behalf. In Athenian direct democracy, all citizens speak for themselves. In the U.S especially, there are way too many citizens for this to work. Also, back in ancient times, the only citizens were men, 18 years and older. Everyone else was banned from participation in the government. Hope this helps.

Why did the United States what to build the Panama Canal?

Misha Larkins [42]

The United States wanted to build the Panama Canal in order to save time and money on trading. Before the Panama Canal, people had to sail all the way around Africa in order to get to the other side of the world, which costed much more money and took a lot longer. The US owns the canal because of the Hay-Bunau-Varilla treaty, which gave the rights to the USA to build and manage it.
