Hope this helps and the grammer is ok.

Explanation: The United States' democracy was heavily influenced through the Athens. Firstly, we use their ideas of giving voice to the people. This is called democracy, and it provides citizens the opportunity to elect officials to represent them. It makes all citizens equal under the law. Secoundly, the Athenians were provided free speech, which has been implemented into our first admendment. Lastly, (nearly) eveyone had equal political rights and could directly influence the goverment, much like our goverment today.

However, we have changed much of the Athenian goverment. Firstly, we've given more rights to more people. Unlike the Athens, were you must be an over 20 yr old male to vote, any American citizen can vote in the goverment. Secoundly, Elections were held through a lottery/chance technique, and they only personally selected their military leaders (like Pericles). Now today we have a more set system, where you directly vote for the positions in power. Lastly, Citizenship was determined in a different way. In ancient Athenian democracy, the right to citizenship was not determined by socio-economic status; but the power of appropriation, and relations between classes were directly affected by democratic citizenship.
