Modern America is a representative Democracy, that is, a Democracy where citizens elect people to represent them in Government. In Ancient Greece, citizens directly voted on measures making it a direct Democracy. The difference is that the United States are a republic whereas the Athenian state was a city-state meaning that they didn't have a vast land and representatives to represent various parts of the land and people from that area. Ancient Greek government featured a direct representational structure. This meant that all eligible voters had input in many of the decisions that were made in contrast to the American republic style of government in which voters election politicians who cast votes on the issues at hand on their behalf.

Have a great day! :D
