Athens. A Democracy meant rule by many and this was FOR SURE by many. Every citizen voted and 500 names were drawn. these 500 people drawn were chosen to serve for 1 year as lawmakers over Athens. Men were the only ones considered citizens, so women, children, and slaves COULD NOT vote.

How does democracy in Ancient Greece compared to democracy in the US today ask?

In their direct democracies, he citizens met in fortnightly assembly and made decisions which were implemented by a council. This was only possible by the smallness of the Greek city-state, where citizens could walk to and from the assembly. It is impractical in large countries today for such assembling for voting, so there is representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives to attend a parliament and vote on their behalf - often not necessarily as the citizens would wish. Modern computing has now made it possible for citizens to vote but don't expect the political class to give up its power voluntarily and implement such a system anytime soon.
