There are many problems that can arise from having a direct democracy. One of the biggest problems would be that the rights of the minorities may be taken away in the process. The correct answer is B.

Kendall Austin · Answer 2

The correct answer here is the option B.

In direct democracy it is the rights of the minorities that are at stake and that could be take away. One problem of the direct democracy is that it could to what is called a tyranny of the majority, and anyone not the majority would suffer. The other thing is that it could lead to democracy destroying itself.
