Which emperors worked on Constantinople and what did they do?
Constantine the Great designated Byzantium as his imperial capital, redeveloped it and renamed Constantinople (City of Constantine). He laid out a new square at the centre, the Augustaeum, and built the Great Imperial Palace with a monumental, the Chalke, and a ceremonial suite, the Palace of Daphne. He also built the vast Hippodrome for chariot-races, seating over 80,000 spectators, the Baths of Zeuxippus the Milion, a vaulted monument from which distances were measured across the eastern part of the Roman Empire, and a senate house. The Mese (Middle [Street]), lined with colonnades, crossed the city, passed by the Praetorium (law-court), the oval-shaped Forum of Constantine, where there was a second senate house and a high column with a statue of Constantine in the guise of Helios (the Sun God) crowned with a halo of seven rays and looking toward the rising sun, and two more for a (plural of forum), the Forum Tauri and then the Forum Bovis. It ended at the Golden Gate in the Constantinian Wall.
The emperor Valens built the Palace of Hebdomon on the shore of the Propontis near the Golden Gate, where several emperors were acclaimed. The emperor Theodosius I built the Church of John the Baptist to house the skull of this saint, erected a column dedicated to himself in the Forum of Taurus, and turned the ruined temple of Aphrodite into a coach house for the Praetorian Prefect. The emperor Arcadius built a new forum named after himself. The emperor Theodosius II built the Theodosian Wall 2 km to the west of the old Constantinian Wall, which was a 60-foot-tall triple-wall.
The emperor Justinian I rebuilt the city's main church, the basilica of St Sophia (now the famous Hagia Sophia) which had been burned during a riot. He also replaced the Church of the Holy Apostles, which was in a state of ruin, with a new church. It remained the burial place of the emperors from Constantine himself until the 11th century. He erected a column with bronze statue of himself on horseback and dressed in a military costume was erected in the Augustaeum.

What made direct democracy so successful?
I would argue that direct democracy is not successful at all. In a true democracy every legal citizen would have an equal say in EVERY decision made. What we have here in the United States is not a true democracy. We have a mix of direct democracy and elected representatives. Some drawbacks to a complete democracy would include; decisions take alot of time and in times of war we need quick action, my ten year old brother would have just as much say in the functionings of our government as a US senator, and it would be a tyrannic rule by the majority-51% of the population could force the other 49% to do whatever they please.
