The document summarizes key differences between the government systems of ancient Athens and the modern United States. In Athens, the legislative body was split into three groups and the role of president was less important than in the US. Athenian democracy was direct, with all male citizens able to participate, whereas the US has a representative democracy. Key aspects of Athenian government included the Council of 500 and division into tribes.
