Answers
pherhaps the most prominent is the important example direct democracy was ancient Athens. Although the Athenians excluded women, slaves, and foreigners from voting, the Athenian democratic system required all citizens to take a vote on all major issues. Athenian democracy consisted of three parts: the general assembly, which was all citizens; the boulê, which was 500 citizens in charge of running the city; and the law courts, which tried all crimes. Under the Athenian system, citizens were actively and constantly involved in the running of all political life. The verdict of every single court case was even decided by a vote of the assembly!
What if you didn't like the bill that Congress passed? Would you like to put it to a national vote? If you said yes, then you might like living in Switzerland. Although Switzerland is not a true direct democracy, any law that is passed by the national legislative branch can be vetoed by the general public if put to a public vote. Additionally, citizens can directly petition to change the Constitution through a direct vote on an amendment. In some districts of Switzerland, they still have Landsgemeinde, or assemblies, where people assemble in open air on a certain day to decide and vote on the laws of their society. This makes Switzerland the most prominent modern democracy to use elements of direct democracy.
