The best reason why direct democracy would not work well in the united states is that
it would be impossible to get each and every citizen to vote.
the national government can not listen to the ideas of individuals.
it may have worked in ancient greece, but it can not work in the modern world.
large groups of voters would be difficult to manage.

In 1944, the supreme court upheld the authority of the u.s. government to order the internment of a minority group in the interest of national security, even though there was no evidence that any members of this group were disloyal to the united states. should the same policy be applied today against u.s. muslims or muslim immigrants? why or why not? are these forms of internment different from native reservations? if so how? if not, why?
