What was the basic aim in a direct democracy a. bill of rights b. suffrage c. major rule d. legislature ?

Majority rule (C) was the basic aim of direct democracy. Direct democracy (pure democracy) is a democracy’s form where people can decide on policy initiatives directly.

EXPLANATION  

The form of direct democracy is different from representative democracy which is commonly applied by many countries today. In a representative democracy, people elect representatives who channel their message and put it into policy. In a direct democracy, people can directly contribute to policies without representatives. Some can even dismiss officials and conduct trials. The two main types of direct democracy are deliberative democracy and participatory democracy.

Semi-direct democracy has representatives who manage the day-to-day government but citizens remain the main force. So, citizens can carry out three forms of popular action: initiative, referendum, and withdrawal. In 2019, there are thirty countries will hold a referendum because of widespread public movements at the national level.

Referendums generally begin with citizens who make a petition calling for a law that is in accordance with the citizens' voices. The institutions set a time period for a valid petition and the number of signatures required. In addition, the institutions also ensure that there is a possibility of requiring signatures from various communities, especially from minorities. This form of direct democracy absolutely grants the people veto power over the laws adopted by their legislatures, as Switzerland does.

Further Explanation:

A Direct democracy is a form of democracy under which people decide or recommend the policies to the government directly. If we talk about a representative democracy, there people vote for their nominated representatives and those representatives then make policies for the people but if we talk about direct democracy, there people decide policies without any interference. Direct democracy depends on the particular system of use as it might also pass some of the executive orders, make laws and sometimes directly dismissing and appointing government officials.  

The first known system of a direct democracy is said to be in the Athenian democracy which was there in 5th Century BC but it is said that it was not an inclusive democracy as women, foreigners and slaves were not part of that and if we talk about present day example of a direct democracy, then it takes place within Crow Nation which is a American Indian tribe in the United States of America.
