all males regardless of their social class
They had to be sons of Athenian citizens. At the age of 18 they were presented to their tribe and gave evidence of their birth to be accepted as a citizen.
The main criticism of ancient Athenian democracy is the limitations Athenian law placed upon who could be considered a citizen. The only Athenians who were considered full citizens were Athens-born men of at least 18 years of age. And to be considered Athens-born, both of one's parents had to have been citizens. But while women could be considered citizens, they had no voice in the Assembly, and no real rights within the democracy. Furthermore, slaves had no voice whatsoever in the Athenian democracy.

No they didn't. The women were treated like slaves and were not taught to read or write. Young males were taught to read and write. When they were 18 the men had to received military training for 2 years. Then they were full citizens with the right to vote in the Athenian Democracy.

Athenian democracy was effected by the citizens (males 18 and over) meeting each fortnight in assembly and making decisions which the Council implemented between meetings. Australian democracy is representative democracy, where the citizens (males and females 18 and over) elect representatives to a parliament for three years. These representatives (members of parliament) do what they feel like, not necessarily according to what they promised when they were seeking election.
In Athens to become a citizen you would have to be over the age of 18 and you would have to be a male. You cant be a slave and you cant be a foreigner. But long ago to become a citizen your father and your mothers father would have to be a citizen.
Athenian boys focused on education, arts, and intellectual pursuits, while Spartan boys were trained for warfare from a young age.
