In the general context of "government," something true and important about the ancient Athenian government is that, during the Classical Period in Greece, it was organized as a democracy. While it was not a "pure" democracy, since only relatively few citizens were able to vote and hold public office, it was nonetheless the first appearance of democracy in Western Civilization.
The United States government was influenced by Athenian democracy. Concepts such as rule of law, separation of powers, and citizen participation in governance have roots in ancient Athens and are reflected in the structures of the U.S. government.
