The most accurate reason why direct democracy worked in Athens but not in the United States is that there was a small number of citizens in Athens and a large amount of citizens in the United States. In Athens, the population of citizens eligible to participate in direct democracy was relatively small, which made it feasible for them to gather and make decisions collectively. In contrast, the United States has a much larger and more diverse population, making direct democracy impractical for governance on a national scale.
