Ancient Athens was governed as a direct democracy, where citizens participated directly in decision-making rather than through elected representatives. Key institutions included the Assembly (Ekklesia), where free male citizens could debate and vote on laws, and the Council of Five Hundred (Boule), which prepared the agenda for the Assembly. Important matters were often decided by majority vote, and civic participation was highly valued, although citizenship was limited to freeborn Athenian males. This system allowed for a unique form of governance that emphasized public involvement and civic responsibility.
