Although Athenian democracy is the predecessor of our democracy, this was significantly different to ours. In Athenian democracy, very few people were able to vote. Only free, adult men enjoyed the privileges and duties of citizenship. Women were not considered citizens and were not allowed to vote. This meant that not more than 30% of the Athenian population was able to vote. Of this, less than 10% were eligible to actually participate in the government.
