None of the provided responses accurately explains why direct democracy worked in Athens but not in the United States.
A more appropriate answer would consider factors such as:
- The size and population scale: Athens had a relatively small population of citizens who were directly engaged in governance, whereas the United States has a much larger and more diverse population, making direct participation more challenging.
- The political structure: Athens had a simpler political structure that allowed for direct participation in decision-making, while the U.S. employs a representative democracy to manage its larger and more complex governance needs.
