The correct answer is B. It has caused spending by interest groups to increase. Since the ruling, multi-billion corporations and other interest groups have funneled unprecedented amounts of money to the parties or politicians that are susceptible to further their interests via the Super PACs (that are not allowed to spend money directly in the politicians' campaigns but can spend unlimited amounts of funds independently and in favor of the party/politician of their choice).

The ancient Greeks used direct democracy, and we use representative. The difference is that first of all, with a direct democracy, the opinions of the people directly affect the outcome of the decision being made. Those eligible to vote voted in assemblies, and the response of the majority ruled.
Here- it's a bit different. We use representative democracy- meaning that we elect representatives to vote and speak for us on the behalf of the people.
There's our difference right there. A direct democracy - like I said is where decisions directly affect outcomes, as opposed to where representatives are elected on behalf of the people to make laws and represent their voters and territory.

The colonial powers that strove to control Iran because of its geopolitical location were Russia and Britain. Russia controlled the north of the country while the south was under the British. The people tried to constitutionalise their country when the King repeatedly failed to deliver even though he promised to. Twice in the early modern period did Iran try to become a democracy with a constitution and rights for the people. Both times the efforts of the people were thwarted and crushed by external colonial influence. The continued interest of the Colonisers in the oil of Iran meant that they were not willing to let the people have a fair share of say or profit in the way the national resources of the country were used.
