Answer 2

The correct answer is A. The kind of government that was enacted by the Athenian Assembly was the direct democracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first records that are preserved of direct democracy come from the ancient Athenian democracy, beginning in 507 BC. This experience lasted approximately two centuries, during which power fell to an assembly in which all male citizens who were not slaves or foreigners took part. The public offices were chosen by lot, and a representative elected by the assembly was in charge of leading the city's army.

The small size of the city-state of Athens at that time (around 45,000 people) and the restrictive conditions to be considered a citizen (only the non-slave men born to an Athenian father and mother were) minimized the logistical difficulties inherent to this form of government.
