Canadian democracy
Canadian democracy is more free and everyone is treated equal in this case they are very different.
All people have political rights no matter if you are a women or born out of Canada, you are still a citizen.
We have a elected council it is not chosen by lottery.
Our government votes on laws, the citizens do not get to vote, they get to vote on the government but not make the decisions.
In a Canadian democracy depending on the level we don't ever have more then 20 people on council.
Ancient Athens democracy
Ancient Athens democracy is also different from Canadian democracy as well.
Women, foreign and slaves have no political rights.
In ancient Athens they choose a random council chosen by lottery.
Citizens vote on laws but council doesn't make the decisions for them, however the council of 500 can suggest laws.
How they are alike
Canadian and ancient Athens democracy is alike in some ways, here's how.
Canadian and ancient Athens both have a government that considers laws.
Both have a jury but however the jury sizes are different.
In both democracy judges can't be lawyers.
