The more people you have in a direct democracy, the harder it becomes to get them all in the same room at the same time to find out how they all vote. For large groups, you then get into polling and mail-in ballots, which is very time-consuming and hard to organize, as well as creating opportunities for fraud. And it is harder to involve everybody and keep them informed. You can broadcast a debate on television, but there is no guarantee that everybody who will be voting is watching your debate. It is also true that large groups of people seem inevitably to include large numbers of fools, who are going to vote in an unwise manner. While this is also a problem of representative democracy, it seems to be an even greater problem with direct democracy. The majority may rule, but there is no guarantee that they will do so with any wisdom.

Direct democracy is a form of democracy in which citizens participate directly in decision-making processes.

Men such as James Madison felt that only a true democracy would be good for America?
The Founding Fathers were not in favor of direct democracy. In fact, some, like Alexander Hamilton, actually favored something on the lines of a constitutional monarchy. The majority of delegates to the Constitutional Convention favored a form of democracy we know as representative democracy. You will note that the original Constitution provides only the House of Representatives to be elected by the people. The President was chosen by the Electoral College and Senators were appointed by their state legislatures. A representative democracy works better in a large nation. Direct or "true" democracy works well in small nations. An example of direct democracy today might be town meetings held in small towns in New England.
