6. Why did the Founders decide that a republic was a better choice for the government than a direct democracy?
A. A republic allowed elected representatives to make laws, which was more efficient than every citizen
voting for each law.
B. A republic was a more modern form of government since it came from Roman times, so it was more
appropriate for the newly formed United States.
C. A republic was more inclusive than a direct democracy since it allowed everyone to be a citizen.
D. A republic encouraged trial by jury which protected the rights of the accused while direct democracies
did not always offer those protections.
