Athens led the Delian League against Persia from 478 BCE. It encouraged members of the League (180 city-states) to adopt a democratic form of government after the Persian Empire made peace in 449 BCE, in some cases forcing it upon them, as this was compatible with its own form of government and eased the League members resistance when Athens turned the League into an empire of its own.

A representative democracy is the type of government that was most heavily influenced by the Athenian system. The difference being that only free Athenian men were represented.

These city-states had been turned into an empire of Athens and were under pressure to follow the democratic way. Modern democracies differ from the Athenian direct democracy model, which was only practicable in a community where citizens could walk into the city for the fortnightly meetings. The large size of countries today preclude this, so a representative democracy model s used, where parliamentarians do the decision-making with little reference to the wishes of the electors, which is quite different from the citizens themselves making the decisions in Athens.
