Because not everyone was guaranteed the right to vote. You could only vote if you were Greek and over the age of 18. You also had to own land.
Athens-------APEX =)
Ancient Athens is often considered to have had one of the most direct forms of democracy in history. In Athens, citizens had the opportunity to vote on laws and policies directly in large assemblies. Their system of government allowed for more widespread citizen participation compared to other ancient civilizations.
In Athens in the fifth century, B.C., laws were determined by a vote among all male citizens. This was an example of pure democracy.
The terms "pure democracy" or "direct democracy" would apply. With larger populations, this can be unwieldy, and direct voting (e.g. plebiscites and propositions) is usually limited. Representative democracy is imperfect and has problems of its own, but is widely used.
No, the United States does not have a pure democracy. It is a democratic republic where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. This system allows for a balance between direct democracy and representative democracy.
In a representative democracy, people vote for representatives to vote on specific issues on their behalf.
In its pure form, in modern nations, no.
Pure Democracy cannot cure the mischief of faction because if the faction is a majority, than they will pursue their interests at the expense of national welfare.
Athens turned the Delian League which it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own and milked them of the funds it used to not only glorify the city and promote culture and learning but also put half its citizens on the public payroll and live high on the hog. The other city-states did not have these lavish resources and lived a sparse lifestyle.
An alloy is a combination of compounds. Since it is no longer pure, it cannot be classified as a compound.
To make a pure democracy in Morocco .
It is a compound. However as it is rarely pure in nature, it could be classed as a mixture too.
