The main reason direct democracy was more feasible in ancient Athens than in the United States lies in the size and scope of the citizen population and the territory involved. Athens had a relatively small population of citizens who could gather in person to participate directly in legislative decisions. In contrast, the United States has a much larger and more diverse population spread over a vast territory, making direct democracy impractical. Therefore, the statement that best captures this idea is that there was a small number of citizens in Athens and a large amount in the United States.
