The purist definition of democracy is that all citizens have the same power over the government, no matter their religion, race, or skin color. A true democracy also doesn't have slaves.
In other words "Government By The people."
The article told us that democracy is based on the people's decisions while having the same power or freedom.

All people have rights and all people choose and agree on things without representatives. The text states that a pure democracy means that the power is given to the people.

If you actually translate it,that is exactly what it means. All people rule in a democracy. It gets far more complicated with direct and indirect democracy. This is based on representatives.
Core Questions:
2. In Athens, women and slaves were not allowed to vote. Only male citizens were allowed to vote. This was reality in  Athens. This was not a true democracy, as not everyone was allowed to vote.
3. To prevent anyone from becoming too powerful, Athens arranged a democracy. If everyone has equal power, there is no one ruler, hence not making one person hold all the power.
4. Some Athenian lifestyle choices that contradict the meaning of democracy is that many people couldn't vote! Women and slaves were excluded from all political affairs, even if they were Athenian! These people made up a huge chunk of Athens' population, and yet Athens is considered a true democracy by some. Most people in Athens couldn't even vote!
5. No, having slaves overrules the whole meaning of democracy. slaves most likely didn't have voting rights. This was unfair, and this made a place an untrue democracy. Although the US is an indirect democracy, it has no slavery and all citizens can vote, hence making it a true democracy.

Pericles was the one to introduce state pay and reduce power of other government officials. He was elected for many years to be on the Board of 10 Generals. He also made Athens beautiful with new buildings and architecture and gave many people new jobs. ||| Democracy would work better with a chief executive. This is because the chief would oversee overlooking the country, as it would be his/her job.

In what ways? Democracy is being carried further by us than it was by the Athenians, in many ways. First, there are no slaves here, and women can vote. Although the Athenians could have gone further than they were with their idea of democracy.
