Ancient Greek democracy was a direct democracy - those who had political rights could go to the assembly and speak or vote personally. Modern democracies are indirect or representative democracies - which means that citizens can have a say in the government through representatives that have been elected by them.

The other difference is that women did not have political rights in ancient times.

What did the early government of the US have in common with ancient governments?

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.
