Direct democracy worked in ancient Athens due to its small population and the active participation of citizens in governance. The system allowed eligible male citizens to engage directly in decision-making through assemblies and votes on important issues, fostering a sense of community and responsibility. Furthermore, the cultural emphasis on civic duty and the relatively small geographic area facilitated regular gatherings and discussions, making direct democracy practical and effective.
