Answer:

Direct democracy will definitely never work well for the federal government of the USA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that direct democracy is giving the people the right to make and vote for laws without representatives from the federal government itself, chaos is guaranteed. Going back in history, very few empires/countries used this method of government, and there is an obvious reason. It's very possible that these laws created through direct democracy can cause an uproar inside the country if a leader (if there even is one) can be targeted with these laws, and if there is a dispute within, a revolutionary war is undodgeable.
