how do i compare ancient Greek democracy to that of the United States today?

Answer 1

Although we do not have the direct democracy as the ancient city-state of Athens, America's version of a democracy brings a much larger percentage of the nations population as members of the electorate.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Democracy, Greek style, is the rule of the people. The American people get democracy once every two years. On one cycle they elect their political representatives and in the other cycle they elect a President. No matter what he says, once he holds power, the President is hardly guided by democracy. Iraq? Watch democracy at work tonight when Bush increases US Army manpower by 20,000 AGAINST the advice and the wishes of the army, Congress, House of Reps. A true dictator at work trying to change his legacy with the lives of others. And watch Poodle Blair The Liar, who sexed up lies to sell the war in 2002. He is the one reason USA went without UN backing. UK democracy? What do you think! Did David Kelly die in vain? That tub of worms will yet come back and bite Bliar big time! Bliar in Court? There's a thought to snuggle down in bed with.

Answer 3

Well in ancient greece they had a more stright forward democracy with a lot of additonal rules. (I.e. women, slaves,workers couldn't vote your parnets had to be athinean, you had to be athenian, etc.,etc.) so we have a less strict democracy then that of the greeks.
