All male citizens could vote in the assembly which was held every couple of weeks. At this assembly all laws were presented to be passed. This is different from an indirect or representative democracy where citizens elect representatives who do the lawmaking. Citizens were also eligible for all public offices (most of which were chosen by lot). They also served on juries which were the sole judges in lawsuits. They were also liable for military service when called up.
