What elements of Athenian democracy do you see in your government today? Why do you think these ideas have lasted over 2,000 years?

Answer: The athenian classical form of democracy.

Explanation:

Athenian democracy is often said to be the first in human history. This statement is joint but not accurate. Democratic forms of government are known to other peoples before the Greeks. Still, the Athenian principles of democracy are now fully known to us, and this is probably why Greeks are said to be the drivers of this form of government. Women, slaves and foreigners could not participate in the Athenian democracy. Therefore, it was not the democracy we know today. When we talk about the similarity to today's form of democracy, then in this context, we can mention transparency.

Decisions taken at rallies in ancient Athens were known to the public. Also, if not everyone was able to participate, some citizens did and were able to decide specific issues related to Athens. Today, citizens elect their political representatives to determine their effects and solve citizens' problems. In Athens democracy, citizens were directly involved in the political system, so there is a certain similarity between the two. The Athenian form of democracy, and justice in general, has persisted to this day because the people are involved in democratic systems of government, and the people are a fundamental element of society, a factor that matters most. Athenian democracy has retained some aspects to this day because it was a political system well ahead of its time.
