The answer to this question can be very complex. However, if we restrict the answer just to the Greek classical period, the power to decide on almost everything resides with the assembly. The assembly is made up of all of the Athenian citizens. The real power, one can argued, may actually be exercised by an elected general, such as Pericles. Ten generals are elected every year, with no limitation on how many times a general can be elected. With the Assembly holding all the power to decide on all matters, there wasn't really a need to transfer power.
