Nothing. We are talking about different historical periods, different societies and different institutions. In the ancient days there were kings and emperors, which the US do not have. When there was democracy, it was different. It was direct democracy, whereas the US and other modern democracies use indirect democracy. Direct democracy means that instead of electing representatives to vote on laws, people voted on bills themselves (directly) by gathering in popular assemblies to vote.

Direct democracy does not exist in the US. The US exercises indirect democracy, which means that the people elect representatives, such as congressmen, senators, governors, and the president. It is these people who handle legislation. Direct democracy means that the people vote on bills themselves (directly). Instances of direct democracy were found only in the ancient world.
Representative. We vote for people to represent us.
