Was Athenian Democracy effective?
Athens' democracy consisted mostly of the occasional plebiscite, comparable with today's referendum. Only freeborn male citizens could participate; women were considered mere 'possessions' of their husbands or fathers who had power of even life and death over them. There were no 'democratic' institutions. The plebiscites mentioned above were usually carefully orchestrated. Which was easy, because the ordinary citizens of Athens all were 'clients' of one or another important family to which they were loyalty-bound and who they visited on a regular basis to pay their respects or to ask for favors or protection.. In terms of day-to-day government Athens was an Oligarchy, run by the members of a small group of rich and powerful families. The idea of Athens being the 'cradle of democracy' is largely an invention of 19th century poet Lord Tennyson who in this way (and succesfully) drummed up support from Britain and France for Greece's revolution against its Ottoman overlords.

How would you evaluate your local government or the present federal government based on Jefferson standard?
Evaluating local or federal government based on Jefferson's standards involves assessing their commitment to individual rights, civic virtue, and the promotion of the common good. Jefferson emphasized the importance of an informed citizenry and the necessity of government to derive its power from the consent of the governed. If the government respects personal liberties, fosters civic engagement, and effectively addresses the needs of its constituents, it would align with Jeffersonian ideals. Conversely, a lack of transparency, accountability, or responsiveness would indicate a deviation from these foundational principles.

What lessons can other countries making the transition from authoritarian rule to democracy learn from Germany?
Probably none. It's certainly not a blueprint for other countries. The situation in Germany was most unusual in two respects: 1. Germany had an earlier (though unsuccessful) democratic tradition of sorts. 2. The country that had prided itself on its cultural, academic and scientific achievements, the country that had liked to see itself as the pinnacle of civilization, was exposed as morally bankrupt through and through.
