JavaScript: 
function show () {
                document.getElementById(hidden).style.display="block";
//supposed to make it show
}
Here is an html example for it:
Code: 
<button onclick="show()">Lorem Ipsum</button>
<p class="hide" <!--i have css for display: none;--> id="hidden">Sit dolor amet</p>
I get an error message when I press the button
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'style')

Try this -
HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Title</title>
    
    <style>
        .hide{
            display: none;   
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <button onclick="show()">Lorem Ipsum</button>
    <p class="hide" id="hidden">Sit dolor amet</p>
    
    <script>
        function show(){
            document.getElementById("hidden").style.display="block";
        }
    </script>
</body>
