    The principle that modern democracies share with ancient Athens is that people should have a voice in government (D). Not only were citizens (adult male citizens) given the right to vote, but they debated and voted on a wide variety of issues that affected many different aspects of Athenian life, as members of the so-called Assembly of Demos (Assembly "of the People"). This aspect of Athenian Democracy, which gave citizens the opportunity to speak, debate, and decide about the government of their city is the one that modern democracies share. Although there are examples of this form of direct democracy, such as the Swiss "Landsgemeinde" or cantonal assemblies, most modern democracies are, for practical reasons, representative.
