Who can talk about the main characteristics of ancient Greek democracy?

The democratic system in ancient Greece was a polis-centered democracy. The characteristics of its democracy are: first, the civilian regime. Citizens are harmonious and their interests are generally the same. The citizens who make up the city-state, no matter how different their origins, status and responsibilities are, are all the same kind of people in a sense.

Second, power constraints. Citizens directly decide matters related to laws and policies through assembly. Every free man in the polis is a citizen, and public affairs are presided over by the consul they elected. The citizens' assembly composed of all citizens decides the important affairs of the city-state through direct democratic voting.

Third, the law is supreme. The political system in Athens strictly implements the rule of law, and the rule of man is absolutely forbidden.

Fourth, civic awareness. Citizen participation is not limited to assembly, but also includes active participation in urban management.

This relatively democratic social system makes its citizens have strong independence and creates good conditions for freedom of thought. As a model of Greek city-state democracy, Athens has become the cradle of human democracy and the cradle of human democratic thought, which has far-reaching influence on all countries in the world.
