The government of Athens was a democracy and The United States is a republic
Answer: The United States is a republic and ancient Athens was direct democracy
Explanation: Since its inception, the United States of America has been conceived as a republic, which means that free elections have elected citizens' representatives, who represent their interests in state bodies. In ancient Athens, the form of city-state regulation was direct democracy, meaning without representatives, as in the US, where citizens, men, were directly deciding political issues.
