The answer they are looking for is democracy. After the reforms of Solon, all male landowners of property gained the vote, and any such man could be elected into office, women, slaves, and xenoi (resident foreigners, Greeks, but not Athenians) could not vote. Practically everything was decided by some form of election, and it has been estimated that every male landowner in Athens will have served in the administration at some point in his life.
The main criticism of ancient Athenian democracy is the limitations Athenian law placed upon who could be considered a citizen. The only Athenians who were considered full citizens were Athens-born men of at least 18 years of age. And to be considered Athens-born, both of one's parents had to have been citizens. But while women could be considered citizens, they had no voice in the Assembly, and no real rights within the democracy. Furthermore, slaves had no voice whatsoever in the Athenian democracy.
