Athenian democracy helped shape modern concepts of democracy and citizenship, influencing systems of government around the world. The principles of equality, free speech, and citizen participation in decision-making continue to be relevant in contemporary democratic societies. The legacy of Athenian democracy serves as a model for ongoing efforts to promote civil rights, political engagement, and social justice.

Athenian democracy in Ancient Greece. But that democracy only concerned free Athenian adult male citizens, not children, not women, not slaves, not foreigners. Sounds like a good democracy for me.

The title "Father of Democracy" is often attributed to Cleisthenes, an ancient Athenian statesman who implemented significant political reforms around 508-507 BCE. He introduced a system that allowed for greater citizen participation in governance, laying the groundwork for the concept of democracy as we understand it today. His reforms included the establishment of the assembly and the council, enabling a more direct form of political engagement for Athenian citizens. Cleisthenes' contributions were pivotal in shaping democratic ideals that influence modern democratic systems.

The ancient Greek city-state of Athens is considered to have been organized as a limited democracy during much of its Classical Period simply because its democratic privileges and rights did not extend to all of its members. For instance, only certain males were allowed to vote and to hold public office.
