What is the role of government in a laissez-fair economic system?

The role of the government is very limited. The literal translation from French is "let be". The government in this system strictly provides a legal system where property rights and contracts can be enforced. Past that, the government is not involved in economic activity. Transactions are free from taxes, tariffs, regulations, etc. This system has never truly existed anywhere because, obvioiusly, the existence of government to provide a legal system requires taxes of some sort to be collected. So, in practical terms, it refers to a system where the government interferes with commerce as little as possible.

What type government started in ancient Athens?

Athenian democracy developed in the Greek city-state of Athens, comprising the central city-state of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica, around 500 BC. Athens was one of the very first known democracies (although anthropological research suggests that democratic forms were likely common in stateless societies long before the rise of Athens). Other Greek cities set up democracies, most but not all following an Athenian model, but none were as powerful or as stable (or as well-documented) as that of Athens. It remains a unique and intriguing experiment in direct democracy where the people do not elect representatives to vote on their behalf but vote on legislation and executive bills in their own right. Participation was by no means open, but the in-group of participants was constituted with no reference to economic class and they participated on a scale that was truly phenomenal. The public opinion of voters was remarkably influenced by the political satire performed by the comic poets at the theaters.
