Detailed explanation-1: -Athenian democracy developed around the 6th century BC in the Greek city-state (known as a polis) of Athens, comprising the city of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica.
Detailed explanation-2: -Democracy in Ancient Greece was very direct. What this means is that all the citizens voted on all the laws. Rather than vote for representatives, like we do, each citizen was expected to vote for every law. They did have officials to run the government, however. Most of these officials were chosen by a lottery.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Greek city-states had no one form of government. Their leadership structures were as varied as the city-states themselves. Most had some form of oligarchy, where a few elites ruled over the rest. Sparta was among these, having both a council and two kings who specifically controlled military matters.
