Why is the concept of direct democracy not practised in all countries?

Dear Student,

b. I t is not possible to practise direct democracy in countries with large population
c. It is not feasible  that for each of the policies, any country calls for voting from each of its citizens (who qualify the age limit).

Hello soma, here is the answer for your question-
  • Not all countries are democratic because of various factors such as Education, tradition/culture, or because the established power in that particular country.
  • Studies have shown that higher the education of the citizens, higher the participation in political activities and they are more likely to move to democracy.
  • Many countries like the Saudi Arabia has been traditionally under the control of a monarch and many others have been under dictatorship since years, and they have remained because the dictator/monarch has forcibly seized the media, opinions of the people, the education etc, as a result the citizens are not aware of the outside world and the importance of democracy.
​​HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.

THANK YOU AND THUMBS UP PLEASE :)
