What does the word "direct" mean, do you think?

The US is a democratic republic, which means the people elect representatives to make the laws, etc., in Washington and the different states.

C = the type of govt in the US

Think about the word "direct" and try again -- no guessing!

Yes, A.

America is a non-direct democracy, the people vote, but their vote doesn't decide much, the electoral college (a form of government) decides. Now imagine what a direct democracy would do.

In ancient Greece, the form of government known as direct democracy empowered all citizens to be directly involved in decision-making. The correct answer is A) all citizens.

To arrive at this answer, we can approach it by eliminating the options that are incorrect:

B) Women: In ancient Greece, the participation of women in the political decision-making process was limited. Only male citizens were actively involved in voting and decision-making.

C) Elected representatives: Direct democracy means that citizens directly participate in decision-making, without the intermediation of elected officials or representatives. Therefore, elected representatives would not have been responsible for making government decisions in ancient Greece.

D) The king: Ancient Greece was not ruled by a monarchy in the way that a king or queen held ultimate power. Instead, different city-states had different methods of governance, with many opting for some form of direct democracy.

By process of elimination, we can conclude that in ancient Greece, all citizens were the ones who decided government matters in a direct democracy.

No.
