Model of democracy is extremely difficult to executs. Although it may have been possible to have everyone’s direct participation in a small town where the citizens were well known to one another and matters to be voted on were comparatively simple, it is far different or attempt direct democracy in a nation such as the United States, which has over 250 million people and which must deal whit extremely complex issues. A government that had to submit each issue requiring a decision to so many voters world be too unwieldy to function efficiently in a modern technological society. Therefore representative democracy has evolved as the only workable alternative.
