Question

Which of the following are differences between American and Athenian democracy? Select all that apply.

A. In America women can't vote, but in Athens women could participate in government.

B. American democracy is representative, while Athenian democracy was direct.

C. American democracy is direct, while Athenian democracy was representative.

D. In America women can vote, but in Athens women could not participate in government.

E. In America there is no lawmaking branch, but there was in Athens.

Answer 1

The answer is definitely not option E because America has a lawmaking branch called the legislative branch. It's also not option A because Americans women can vote but Athenian women and children can't. It's not option B because it's true that Athenians have a direct democracy but Americans don't have representative it's republic. Which also crosses out option C. So the best answer is option D "In America women can vote, but in Athens women could not participate in government."

Hope this helps!
