Detailed explanation-1: -Greek democracy created at Athens was direct, rather than representative: any adult male citizen over the age of 20 could take part, and it was a duty to do so. The officials of the democracy were in part elected by the Assembly and in large part chosen by lottery in a process called sortition.
Detailed explanation-2: -This means that our government is elected by citizens. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. These officials represent the citizens’ ideas and concerns in government.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although this Athenian democracy would survive for only two centuries, its invention by Cleisthenes, “The Father of Democracy, ‘’ was one of ancient Greece’s most enduring contributions to the modern world.

Citizens have a very important role in a democracy as they exercise their rights and freedoms and benefit from the democratic setup of the country. They cooperate with the law and order and rules and regulations.
