The ancient Athenian government had two houses in their legislative branch, just like the United States has today.
In the United States we have the House of Representatives and Senate which make up our legislative branch. The House of Representatives has 435 members. A states representation in this part of Congress depends on their population. On the other hand, each state has 2 Senators regardless of their population.
In Greek democracy, only male citizens above 18 had true power to vote and have say in government. Today, everybody in the country has that right. There are also some differences in the bodies of governing power, but I don't know too much about them, so I won't say anything because I wouldn't want to give you wrong information. :)
I don’t know if this helps but I found a Wikipedia page with lots of useful information. Sorry I couldn’t give a straight up answer but I haven’t gone over this in class.
