Athen Government of 500-400
it's a direct democracy which means the people vote directly
in the US we vote for people that elect for us
In the Athens government the people would directly vote on stuff unlike the govenrment here where we have people elected to vote on stuff.
The Athens government influenced our government in a few ways:
-it gave the citizens roles (citizenship)
-"democracy" rights - gives the people the right to vote
-it was usually only free men that owned land (how our government started)
