We vote for our leaders today, just like Ancient Greek. We also count ballets and meet up to vote. Not only that, but,like the Ancient Greeks, the leaders(presidents)have debates on why you should vote for them.

In today's terms yes. But back then, the notion that every male citizen could vote was revolutionary.
Radical/absolute democracy. This means that all citizens (not every person there, just ones who qualified for citizenship.. another thing all together) got to vote. This is different from American democracy where we vote for candidates who then make decisions on our behalf, which is actually a Republic.
Ancient Athens is known for having a direct democracy, which is when the people directly vote on the laws. There are no representatives, the people meet together and run the government themselves.

The basic features and limitations of Greek democracy included the women, slaves, and poor having no rights in any form. It was a direct democracy and only men who were land owners were allowed to vote.
It was a limited democracy. Only certain citizens were allowed to vote.
The Greek world was comprised of hundreds of independent city-states each with its own government and system of government. These systems changed in each city over time. Different systems allowed a limited number of citizens to vote according to property qualification. Others allowed all citizens to vote regardless. The words oligarchy (rule by the few) and democracy (people power) are relevant.
They allowed women to vote so that way there could be more votes and more elections.
We vote for our leaders today, just like Ancient Greek. We also count ballets and meet up to vote. Not only that, but,like the Ancient Greeks, the leaders(presidents)have debates on why you should vote for them.
