Best Answer

Pure democracy requires that each person votes on every bill. Since people have jobs, it would be difficult for people to be knowledgeable on every bill. It was also be very costly to organize a vote for everyone every time a vote was needed because hundreds of bills are passed into law every year.

Due to this, democracy is only effective on a small scale, such as for a single town.

However, for a nation, a Republic is a better form of government. You vote for someone who will represent you. Your representative can research the bills and vote while you take care of your job and family.
