When Muhammed died in the year 632, he, much like Alexander the Great, did not appoint a successor. So, there was much argument who would lead then a young growing religion. The Sunni Muslims believed that the new caliph should be Abu Bakr while the Shia believed that Muhammed’s cousin Ali should be the leader.

What is a possible drawback to direct democracy? How might it be resolved?

It couldn't be resolved in early times, but maybe with the age of technology, you could surpass that by having everyone vote online or something similar.
