direct democracy.
In a country with an absolute monarchy, the monarch makes all of the decisions. Therefore, citizens in a country ruled by absolute monarchy has no decision making power.
Athenian citizens were actively involved in decision-making through a system of direct democracy, where they participated in the Assembly (Ekklesia) that met regularly to discuss and vote on important issues such as laws, war, and foreign policy. All male citizens over the age of 18 could attend and speak, allowing them to influence decisions directly. Additionally, a council known as the Boule, composed of selected citizens, prepared agendas for the Assembly and managed day-to-day affairs. This participatory approach ensured that citizens had a significant voice in the governance of Athens.
