- In direct democracy all citizens meet together and make decisions through voting.
- In representative democracy citizens elect a leader that makes decisions on the behalf of the people.
Ancient Greece wasn't a single country run by one government. It was run by things called city-states. City-states are areas that have their own government.
Also, people from Ancient Greece didn't call themselves Greeks. They referred to themselves as Corinthians if they were from Corinth, etc etc
ATHENS AND SPARTA
These two rivals in Ancient Greece were very different.
THEY WERE BIG RIVALS
- Spartan life was simple. Their focus was on obedience and war.
- Athenian life was great. You could get a great education, pursue a great career, and have a choice to go to war.
Now the Spartans just wanted to protect Greece, but Athens wanted more land. this led to a war with all the Greeks.
However, the two areas had a similar government. They both had an Assembly, whose members were elected by the citizens.
