They were direct democracies as opposed to today's representative democracies where members are elected to represent the people).

The citizens (males over 18 years of age) would meet in Assembly regularly, about every fortnight, and the Council would put draft laws before them to discuss and vote on.

As the Council was involved only in implementing the decisions of the Assembly the scope of the laws was total, covering all aspects of life - financial, external relations, legal, military and domestic.
