How are they alike —they both have jury's in court cases
-had some form of democracy
-had different levels of government(the council of 500, the assembly, the court, federal, provincial, municipal)

How are they different —woman were citizens but could not vote
-only free male citizens could vote
-council was chosen by lottery
-laws were voted on
-no judges or lawyers
-if council member is not doing a good job they can all choose to exile him for 10 years
CANADA
-everyone is a citizen but if your not born in Canada you can receive citizenship
-people over 18 could vote for who is in their government
-laws are made by government
-you could be voted out in next election
