Question

In which way does the modern US government differ from that of ancient Greece?

Answer 1

Answer:

A democracy is a political system, or a system of decision-making within an institution or organization or a country, in which all members have an equal share of power.[1] Modern democracies are characterized by two capabilities that differentiate them fundamentally from earlier forms of government: the capacity to intervene in their own societies and the recognition of their sovereignty by an international legalistic framework of similarly sovereign states. Democratic government is commonly juxtaposed with oligarchic and monarchic systems, which are ruled by a minority and a sole monarch respectively.

Democracy is generally associated with the efforts of the ancient Greeks and Romans, who were themselves considered the founders of Western civilization by the 18th century intellectuals who attempted to leverage these early democratic experiments into a new template for post-monarchical political organization.[2] The extent to which these 18th century democratic revivalists succeeded in turning the democratic ideals of the ancient Greeks and Romans into the dominant political institution of the next 300 years is hardly debatable, even if the moral justifications they often employed might be. Nevertheless, the critical historical juncture catalyzed by the resurrection of democratic ideals and institutions fundamentally transformed the ensuing centuries and has dominated the international landscape since the dismantling of the final vestige of empire following the end of the Second World War.

Modern representative democracies attempt to bridge the gulf between the Hobbesian 'state of nature' and the grip of authoritarianism through 'social contracts' that enshrine the rights of the citizens, curtail the power of the state, and grant agency through the right to vote.[3] While they engage populations with some level of decision-making, they are defined by the premise of distrust in the ability of human populations to make a direct judgement about candidates or decisions on issues.

Answer 2

Athenian Democracy Was Exclusive

While America has a past history of keeping women, minorities and non-property owners from the voting process, the country's current system is much more open than the one in place in ancient Athens. Women, racial minorities and immigrants were not viewed as citizens in Greece, and they had very little influence on the political process. Only male citizens over the age of 18 had a place in the political process. The rights afforded to citizens and non-citizens differed greatly, whereas the current American system provides equal protection to all citizens.

Direct vs. Representative Democracy

Ancient Greek government featured a direct representational structure. This meant that all eligible voters had input in many of the decisions that were made in contrast to the American republic style of government in which voters election politicians who cast votes on the issues at hand on their behalf. The ancient Greek system theoretically gave participants a much greater say in the actions of the state.
