Free land-owning males were the only ones who could participate. Ended up being about 10% of the population.

Many people weren't able to to vote such as women, slaves, people known as Metics. Both of your parents had to be from Athens and you also had to be born in Athens. people that conformed would be able to go to the Pnyx were they could debate, write speeches and vote, this was called the assembly and 1000 people were allowed to go every 8-10 days (40 times a year).
hope this helps

What was Athenian democracy and why is it important today?
Athenian democracy was all adult male citizens meeting in assembly each fortnight and discussed and voted on the running of the state. It is not important today other than as interesting history, as democracies today are representative democracies - that is citizens elect representatives to he assembly, who vote on decisions. This present system gives power to the representative politicians who often have different views and are held accountable at elections after several years. The Athenian direct democracy model sounds attractive but most countries are too large for people to assemble regularly, so we have to have representatives to do this for us. The question is 'would you trust a politician?'
Why would people risk their lives for democracy?
People may risk their lives for democracy because they believe in the principles of freedom, equality, and participation in decision-making processes. They may see democracy as a way to ensure their rights are protected, hold leaders accountable, and have a say in governing their own lives and communities. Additionally, some individuals are willing to sacrifice for democracy because they see it as a means to create a more just and inclusive society for future generations.
