Athenian Democracy was taking place from the 5th to the 4th century BCE.

Only men were able to take part, they were called the demos.

The amount of men in the demos ranged from 30 to 60,000, depending on the time frame.

A member could be voted out if they were becoming too powerful.

The boule decided on decisions, and took action without the rest in times of emergency.

If you were an eligible citizen and you didn't participate then you would be fined.
