Answer:
1.Athenian democracy developed around the sixth century BC in the Greek city-state (known as a polis) of Athens, comprising the city of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica. Athenian democracy is often described as the first known democracy in the world.
2.Ancient Athens had direct democracy because people of Athens were directly bringing decision in the country, through political bodies they have established. The most important one was Assembly (Ecclesia).
3.Socialism didn't exist back then. Dictators would be thrown out through the process of Ostracism. Last monarch in Athens in Codro was removed from his position.
4.The political system of ancient Athens differs from the political system of the US today in that Ancient Athens had a direct democracy, while the United States has a representative democracy. In a direct democracy every citizen votes on every decision that is made, while in a representative democracy every citizen votes to elect public officers, that will represent them in making decisions on how to run the country.
5.During the Golden Age of Athens a tribute was a tax paid to the empire. The word continued to be used, for instance in Latin America most people needed to pay a tribute to the Spanish crown.

The increasing use of executive orders by presidents suggests that presidents have been trying to take more power into their own hands rather than working with Congress to change laws.
In part this is due to difficulties with deep divisions in Congress, which makes cooperation to pass legislation in Congress more and more challenging.
In part it also has to do with presidents seeking greater authority for the executive office. Presidents will tend to do so especially in times of war or other perceived national crisis. Arthur Schlesinger's 1973 book, <em>The Imperial Presidency</em>, looked at how presidential powers, particularly in foreign affairs, tended to be increased by all presidents in wartime. While our Constitution seeks to check and balance powers between the branches of government, the Executive Branch tends to want to streamline execution of plans and programs. Presidents will issue executive orders to get something done in more direct fashion than working through Congress to get it accomplished.
