Answer 1

The democracy of Ancient Athens was different from democracy today in the Untied States, because in Athens only male citizen could vote directly on proposed laws. 

Answer 2

only male citizens could vote directly on proposed laws.

it should be known, though, that the United States is not a direct democracy at all like Athens. We elect representatives to do this whole government thing for us, which is very different from Athens. We are more closely associated with Rome's government than Athens. Just to clear that up, since schools are obviously teaching us the wrong thing lol
