The courts in ancient Athens were jury courts and were very large. The smallest possible court would have 201 members. The odd number was to prevent ties. So, with that in mind, let's look at the options and see what makes and does not make sense.
A)The United States uses an identical jury system as was used in ancient Athens.
* I don't recall hearing about any 200 member juries at any time in recent history. So this is obviously wrong.
B) The United States uses a jury system, but with fewer jurors than were used in ancient Athens.
* Yes indeed. We do use a jury system, and we use far fewer jurors than ancient Athens.
C)The United States uses a jury system, but with more jurors than were used in ancient Athens.
* For the same reason that A is wrong, this is also wrong.
D)The United States uses judges, but not juries, as used in ancient Athens.
* We use both a judge and jury. So this too, is wrong.</span>
