Why did the Framers believe that a direct democracy was not the best form of government

DaniilM [7]2 years ago

The framers believed that direct democracy was not the best form of government because<u> C - </u><u>direct democracies</u><u> function </u><u>best </u><u>in </u><u>small communities,</u><u> the </u><u>U.S. </u><u>is</u><u> too large</u><u> for this form  of government to work.</u>

In a direct democracy, power lay with individuals who needed to vote to:

  • put someone in power
  • enact legislation

Everyone who is eligible to vote gets to vote in a direct democracy. This can be quite complicated when the population of the society is high as it will present some logistical challenges.

It was with this in mind that the framers decided not to use direct democracy.

We can therefore conclude that, the framers did not want to use direct democracy as the American population was simply too large to support direct democracy.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Explanation:The dawn of the twentieth century found the region between Kansas and Texas in transition. Once set aside as a permanent home for indigenous and uprooted American Indians, almost two million acres of Indian Territory had been opened to settlement in 1889. Joined with a strip of land above the Texas Panhandle, the two areas were designated "Oklahoma Territory" by an act of Congress the following year. Subsequent additions of land surrendered by tribal governments increased the new territory until it was roughly equal in size to the diminished Indian Territory. Land was the universal attraction, but many white pioneers who rushed into Oklahoma Territory or settled in Indian Territory hoped for a fresh start in a new Eden not dominated by wealth and corporate power. Freedmen dreamed of a new beginning in a place of social justice where rights guaranteed by the Constitution would be respected. Most Native Americans, whose land was being occupied, had come to realize the futility of their opposition to the process that would soon unite the two territories into a single state. A few Indians, most wedded to tribal traditions, simply ignored a process they could not understand and refused to participate in an allotment of land they had once been promised would be theirs "forever."

The birth of the new state occurred in an era of protest and reform. Populist and Progressive currents merged to sweep reform-minded Democrats to an overwhelming victory in 1906 in the selection of delegates to a Constitutional Convention tasked with forging Indian and Oklahoma territories and the Osage Nation into a single state. The constitution drafted at the convention in Guthrie in 1906–07 was not as "radical" as Pres. Theodore Roosevelt suggested, but it did reflect its authors' belief that the will of the people, not powerful corporations, should determine state policy. A series of provisions, including a corporation commission, popular election of many state officials, initiative and referendum, preferential balloting for U.S. senators, a single term for the governor, a weak legislature, and inclusion of details in the constitution normally enacted by statute, reflected the founding fathers' conviction that corporate influence on state government should be held in check.
