The representative democracy of the United States.
3 example of Athenian influence found in western culture today are Hellenistic Age, Athens and Sparta and Aristotle.
In Ancient Greece, the Spartan and Athenian governments differed essentially for the better part of their histories. Spartan society was ruled by kings wielding absolute power, with a small group of elite advisers also influential. By contrast, the "Golden" era for Athens witnessed democracy's birth -- and rule. Although limited in scope, with (for example) only adult males being able to vote and hold public office, Athenian democracy valued public debate and consensual decision-making, and public leaders were typically held accountable to the citizens for their actions.

Governments are dependent on the amount of power they are given. For example, a dictatorship has unlimited power, while a democracy has many limits on the governments power.
True. Athenian democracy was the most pivotal and significant example, but many other Greek cities, such as Corinth, Megara, and Syracuse also had democratic political systems.
There are many types of government. For example, there are democracies, republics, monarchies, communistic governments, tribal governments, and theocracies. Most of the world, however, has some form of a democracy.

During the 19th century, the United States was perhaps the greatest influence in the spread of "democratic" governments. Despite the slavery issue, the US Constitution was a document that by far surpassed the laws that European governments allowed for their peoples. Nations in South America, as example, tried to emulate the republican democracy of the US.This influence had more weight when the US abolished slavery in 1865.
People are elected to represent the people of their district, city, local, federal or state governments.
Some of the democratic principles in ancient Athens, mirrored what we would expect of democracy today, but there were some traits that were different. One example of a different principle is that women were still not seen as equals unless there were believed to be descendants of gods.
Justinian's Code played a very important role in the development of ideas for democracy. For example, one of the laws in Justinian's Code stated that a person was innocent until proven guilty.
