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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Democracy-rule by the citizens of a city. Monarchy-rule by an individual who had inherited power. Oligarchy-rule by a select group of powerful or wealthy individuals. Tyranny-rule by an individual who had seized power by force.
