How did Athenian democracy differ from Roman republicanism?
The Roman Republic was a form of government in which the people would choose the representatives to govern them, which means that the elected the senate and assembly made the laws.

Any male citizen could take part in the Athenian Assembly but women, slaves and people born in other countries were not allowed to participate in government.

Which political leader dominated the Athenian Golden Age?
The nobles in the athenian government held the most power, though it was a pure democracy meaning every able man was allowed to have a say in the government During the Athenian period of democracy, the center of power was really held in the role of "General", mainly because of the near constant state of war. Pericles was the most famous General of this period, having won that office 15 consecutive times.
How do they choose leaders in the athenian democracy?
Well, at first they didn't really have a couple "Leaders" (besides pericles, and then the Romans came and stuff changed) They had the Boule. (Boo-lee) And they were chosen by lottery. Draws etc. Each person could only be chosen ... I think twice. Only Athenian male citizens could lead.

What is the difference between Greek Democracy and the Republic of Rome?
First of all, we should note that only Athens and a few other city-states were ever democracies. The vast majority of Ancient Greece was ruled by monarchies or oligarchies and not by elections. However, the difference between Athenian democracy and the Roman Republic was that, in the former, all of the citizens voted on policies, whereas in the latter, only elected representatives voted on policies. (The difference was between direct democracy and representative democracy.)

How is it decided who rules in democracy?
In a democracy, the leader or leaders are chosen by the people through free and fair elections. The candidate with the most votes typically wins and is then entrusted with governing the country or region based on the principles of democracy, such as protecting individual rights and upholding the rule of law.
