Answer:

Direct democracy is a form of government where every citizen participates in lawmaking. Some local governments can still use direct democracy today because local governments have a small amount of people, so every citizen can participate in government. National governments and even state governments cannot do this, because they have too many people. Imagine if every person in the US was a lawmaker!
