It worked badly for the Greeks. I don't remember too terribly much from the class as that was the beginning of the semester, but the problem with a true democracy is that little gets done, even more so than what we have now. The Greeks had courts with a jury of 300 people. We can't mimic the Greeks. It's just not a plausible solution. To have to have everyone vote in on the bill, as is not everyone does. To ask the public to do that would be a problem. There are enough people who vote via popularity rather than plausibility. This would overthrow. Not to mention this is the generation of "me" where they just live off welfare and would rather the government take care of them than to do something for themselves. It would be the downfall to allow them to have direct power.
