Why are referendums needed?
Referendums are used to give citizens a direct vote on specific issues or decisions, promoting direct democracy and increasing citizens' involvement in the decision-making process. They can be a tool to gauge public opinion on important matters and help ensure that government actions align with the will of the people.
Why is there a difference between a direct democracy and a representative democracy?
In a direct democracy an assembly of the citizens decides on all matters of government and law. In a representative democracy, citizens elect representatives to a parliament, and these representatives vote on the issues of government. Direct democracy is not possible in a large state as it has been impracticable for citizens to travel regularly to an assembly over large distances. The problem with representatives is 'do they really represent the opinions of their electors?' With the internet it would now be possible to take direct peoples' votes regularly, but don't hold your breath waiting for the politicians to give up their power and perks.

Direct Democracy is established on the basis of voters, there are no representatives that "make" your vote in legislature. Votes depend on the outcome of voters and their decisions, not the decisions of representatives elected by the people. Direct democracy usually only works in smaller populations of people. Like in Switzerland, for instance, they're probably the best example of a direct democracy. In the United States we have a representative democracy, we elect officials to make decisions that are supposed to be in our favor.
What impact does gerrymandering have on a democracy?
It rigs the vote. If a political party can set up an area that is the majority of that party then the votes cast will be for the candidates of that vote. This discounts the other party and puts them on an uneven playing field. In a democracy this is wrong.
What aspects of Athenian direct democracy are similar to democracy by the US?
The Greek concept of democracy intended to give power to the elite, the "citizens." Only they could vote on proposals to become law. But, it wasn't democracy because, since most Greeks were slaves, its laws were not dictated by the majority of its people. America's so-called democracy is set up almost exactly the same, except that the powerful government officials continuously and falsely try to convince the people that it is a democracy, simply because they have the right to vote for those the elite groups offer as political candidates.
