This presentation summarizes the governments of ancient Athens and modern America. Athens had a democratic government where male citizens over 18 could vote and hold positions, but women, slaves, foreigners could not. It was led by Pericles and had three branches: the assembly, council, and courts. Voting involved placing stones in jars to choose leaders. America also has a democratic government where those over 18 can vote and hold office, regardless of other attributes. It is led by the President.
