Question

In what ways was the athenian democracy and example of direct democracy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Perhaps the most prominent example of direct democracy was ancient Athens. Although the Athenians excluded women, slaves, and foreigners from voting, the Athenian democratic system required all citizens to take a vote on all major issues.Switzerland is a rare example of a country with instruments of direct democracy (at the levels of the municipalities, cantons, and federal state). Citizens have more power than in a representative democracy.
