Explanation:
Thomas Jefferson was the primary draftsman of the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the nation's first secretary of state and the second vice president (under John Adams). As the third president of the United States, Jefferson stabilized the U.S. economy and defeated pirates from North Africa during the Barbary War. He was responsible for doubling the size of the United States by successfully brokering the Louisiana Purchase. He also founded the University of Virginia. As a boy, Jefferson's favorite pastimes were playing in the woods, practicing the violin and reading. He began his formal education at the age of nine, studying Latin and Greek at a local private school run by the Reverend William Douglas.
The first three articles of the Constitution establish three branches of government with specific powers: Executive (headed by the President), Legislative (Congress) and Judicial (Supreme Court). Power is separated and shared.
I don't think I can come up with 5.
1. Both have a system of voting to decide major issues like whether or not to go to war. The difference is in who can vote. Mostly it was an issue of property in Athens. You had to own property to be able to vote. Foreigners and women were not given the vote.
2. It was a citizen's duty to debate the issues in Athens. America, when I was growing up, had a similar stance. I believe it is more repressive now.
3. The vote, once completed, was what was done. That idea in America ended with Gore vs Bush over the Florida election. And now all that can be debated is Trump. I'm not fond of the man, but I also don't like the fact that people are "at war" about whether or not he should stay in office. The cry is for impeachment, especially from some democrats. There is little hint of cooperation in that. Before all this, though once elected, a president (with the exception of Nixon) could look forward to a modicum of cooperation.
That's about what I can come up with.
