A free man in athens is a man that is over 18 years old and was born in athens. Unfortunately, free men were the only things that were considered free men at that time
Foreigners were not allowed to vote in ancient Athens.
Athens gave free males over the age of 20 the opportunity to vote and speak freely.
The Council of 500 would vote on who to put in the council and who not to put on the council.
athens was not true democracy
the women in athens couldn't vote
In Athens the women weren't free, they had to clean, cook, and had to be hidden when they're husband's friends comes over. In Sparta, the women were free and they could have jobs and go anywhere! But in athens, they had to ask for permission. In sparta, they had better security, they had the military but athens didnt care about the military. In athens, only men were able to vote and participate in the government but in sparta, women can join the military and get jobs also they can vote!
Woman couldnt vote in Athens because, only people with land can vote. Woman couldnt own land, thus, not being allowed to vote :)
only males that were citizens of athens
Voting was created in ancient Athens, Greece, but only certain upper class men were allowed to. They would write their vote on a piece of paper, put the paper in a box, and then afterwards would read the answers. They had a government that was "free", and we have a government that is "representative." In a free government, everyone votes for themselves. In a representative government, people vote on a certain person to "represent" them, and then that certain person would vote on certain laws. So like we vote for a president, and he makes the laws. In Athens, they would all vote on the laws themselves.
they where able to vote at the age of 18
Only the male citizens of Athens could vote.
