What difference between aristocracy tyranny and democracy in Ancient Greece?

In Ancient Greece, aristocracy was a system where a privileged elite held power, often justified by their noble lineage and perceived wisdom. Tyranny, contrastingly, involved a single ruler who seized control, often through force, and ruled without regard for law or the consent of the governed. Democracy, particularly in Athens, allowed citizens to participate directly in decision-making and governance, emphasizing equality and collective deliberation. While aristocracy and tyranny concentrated power in the hands of few, democracy aimed to distribute authority among the populace.
