The word democracy comes from two Greek words meaning People Power. In its radical form it was a fortnightly assembly of all the (male) citizens where they considered and decided on matters put before them and raised by them. The Council of 500 carried out the Assembly's decisions and handled daily problems between meetings. The law courts, which were considered to be part of the political process, had juries of 500, with no judges or lawyers to interfere; they voted on cases brought before them and awarded punishments or payments to be made.
The Council and other office bearers were chosen by lot from the citizens, except for the 10 generals who were elected one from each tribe. They were too smart to be led in war by someone selected by lot, and usually when the Assembly made a significant decision, it had a rider 'the general to implement' even though it might be a non-military matter.

How does Athenian democracy compare to the democratic system of the United States?
Athenian democracy and the democratic system of the United States differ in several key ways. Athenian democracy was a direct democracy where citizens voted on laws and policies directly, while the U.S. has a representative democracy where citizens elect officials to make decisions on their behalf. Additionally, Athenian democracy was limited to male citizens, while the U.S. has expanded voting rights to include women and minorities. Both systems value citizen participation and the protection of individual rights, but they operate in different ways to achieve these goals.
