Democracy:Decisions based on majority rule,and citizens vote by secret ballot
Oligarchy: Elections are held,but only with one candidate
In a democracy people vote, whereas in an autocracy or oligarchy, they do not vote. Since any influence by voting, however minute, is present in a democracy and absent from an autocracy or oligarchy, it gives more power to the voter by dint of being greater than zero.
The Greek world was comprised of hundreds of independent city-states each with its own government and system of government. These systems changed in each city over time. Different systems allowed a limited number of citizens to vote according to property qualification. Others allowed all citizens to vote regardless. The words oligarchy (rule by the few) and democracy (people power) are relevant.
Yes, because the Greeks had many styles of governments like Monarchy and Oligarchy and Democracy. In the US we have Monarchy which was ruled by 1 person and Democracy which was ruled by citizens and citizens are aloud to vote. We have democracy because of the voting and we have the Monarchy for the 1 ruler.

They vote
The evolution of a Monarchy, an Oligarchy, a Tyranny and a Democracy is a very long answer. Monarchy: The Monarchy's of the Greek city-states were born int the power over the land. Oligarchy: Oligarchy's were inherited into ruling their ancestors land and they were rich so it help them be able to rule. Tyranny: Tyrant's illegally rule a city-state because they murder the king so they can be in there place. Democracy: Citizens can vote on every issue, and or representative.
That depends on the State's constitution, if it has one. But in a pure, absolute democracy, all citizens are granted the right to vote.
Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy. A representative democracy is modern, and a direct democracy is ancient. A representative democracy works better in large groups, and a direct democracy works better in small groups. Citizens' desires are ignored in a representative democracy, and citizens' desires have a better chance of being heard in a direct democracy
Ireland is a democracy, so Irish citizens can vote once they reach the age of 18.
