Which form of government was composed of all citizens who met in an open assembly to discuss and cast their votes?
A
a parliamentary democracy
B
a republic
C
an oligarchy
D
a direct democracy


Sagot :

Answer:

D) A direct democracy

Explanation:

A direct democracy involves the citizens of a nation voting directly on law and policy without the intermediary of a government representative. These intermediaries are included in republics and parliamentary democracies, since the citizens vote on officials to represent them, so we can eliminate choices A & B. We can also eliminate choice C since an oligarchy is defined as a small group of people (typically the elite) controlling a nation.
