Athens was originally an oligarchy, where power was concentrated in the hands of a small elite. Over time, particularly in the 6th century BCE, it evolved into a direct democracy, allowing broader participation in governance. Reforms by leaders like Solon and Cleisthenes expanded political rights to more citizens, enabling them to vote and engage in decision-making. This transformation laid the foundation for democratic principles that influenced future political systems.
