What characterizes a direct democracy?

  1. Rule by a king

  2. Rule by elected representatives

  3. Citizens making laws directly

  4. Government ownership of businesses

The correct answer is: Citizens making laws directly

A direct democracy is a system of government where citizens actively participate in making laws and governing themselves. This means they are able to propose, vote on, and pass laws without relying on elected representatives. This option is correct because it directly addresses the main characteristic of a direct democracy. The other options, such as rule by a king or elected representatives, are characteristics of a different form of government such as a monarchy or representative democracy. Government ownership of businesses is also not a defining characteristic of a direct democracy. Therefore, option C is the best choice for this question.
