The government in ancient Athens was an example of democracy. The Athenian government was the first democratic form of government recorded.

The most important part of the Athenian government that made laws was the Assembly, known as the "Ekklesia." This body, composed of male citizens over the age of 18, gathered regularly to debate and vote on proposed legislation, policies, and important decisions. Additionally, the Council of Five Hundred, or "Boule," prepared the agenda for the Assembly and ensured the implementation of its decisions, playing a crucial role in the legislative process. Together, these institutions embodied the principles of direct democracy in ancient Athens.
In ancient Athens, important decisions were primarily made by the Assembly (Ekklesia), which was composed of male citizens over the age of 18. The Assembly met regularly to discuss and vote on various issues, including laws, war, and foreign policy. Additionally, a group known as the Council of Five Hundred (Boule) prepared the agenda for the Assembly and managed day-to-day affairs, ensuring that citizens could participate directly in the democratic process. This system allowed for a more inclusive decision-making process among the citizenry.
Greece was a collection of hundreds of independent city-states. So there was no Greek assembly to make laws for Greece - each city made its own. For those states which had a democratic or quasi-democratic constitution, citizens would meet at a designated place which varied from a paddock to a square to a specific assembly arena, depending on the city and period.
