Answer:
The government of ancient Athens was a direct democracy.
Explanation:
The central events of Athenian democracy were the meetings of the Assembly. Unlike in a Parliament, the members were not elected, but were citizens who could attend whenever they wanted. The democracy created in Athens was direct, not representative as it is today: any adult male who was a citizen and over 18 years of age could participate, and it was a duty to do so. The officials of the democracy were partly elected by the Assembly and partly by lot.
