Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion, I think that they shouldn't change to a direct democracy because as the current government system has kept everything in order and we have had it for quite a long time, therefore giving us major experience with this form of democracy. Another reason is that the United States going to be a little different because only men 18 or older could vote and the group of mens debate on government matters.
