Step-by-step explanation:

The Greek idea of democracy was different from present- day democracy because, in Athens , all adult citizens were required to take an active part in the government.

The Athenian definition of "citizens" was also different

from modern-day citizens :

Only free men were considered citizens in Athens

Answer:

Democracy in ancient Greece served as one of the first forms of self-rule government in the ancient world. The system and ideas employed by the ancient Greeks had profound influences on how democracy developed, and its impact on the formation of the U.S. government.
