Athens had a direct democracy. A direct democracy people vote on issues as a individual, rather than elect a representative.
Athens had a limited democracy.
The US government has a representative democracy where the people elect representatives to run the government for them whereas Athens had a direct democracy where the people decide and solve the issues themselves. Hope this helps! :D
