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.

What changes did Japanese militarists make when they came to power?

TEA [102]

Japanese militarism restricted freedoms and imposed Japanese culture

Option: B

<u>Explanation: </u>

When the Japanese militarism came to power in 1930s, they restricted the freedoms of the civilians or public because they were supporting western imperialism and democracy. The Japanese militarism focused on strengthening the military as they believed strengthening the army will be equal to strengthening the nation.

If any politicians or businessmen or civilians raised their voice, they were killed or suppressed. Hence, in 1878 the Imperial Japanese Army introduced Imperial Japanese Army General Staff where they followed their protocols independent of the Ministry of War of Japan.
