Answer 1

If you mean constitution, I have to tell you that there was no "constitution" in ancient Greece. Besides, ancient Greece was not a state, it was divided into many city-states, and each had its own laws. Democracy was applied in ancient Athens. The difference with nowadays was that in ancient Athens democracy was direct, all the citizens could take part in the voting of laws and decisions. Nowadays, people are too many to take part in a huge conference of the entire city, so there is a representative system (people vote their representatives in teh Parliament, and it is them who vote for the laws).

Answer 2

Fisrt of all there was not a sigle Ancient Greek constitution as there was not a sigle state. In fact Aristotle and his pupils notably Theophrastus (who also was his successor as headmaster of Lycaeum) wrote more than a hundrend books concernig the constitutions of the various Greek city states of which only the book for the Athens: " Constitution of the Athenians" has remain more or less intact the others had been lost with the exeption of fragments preserved in other sources. So your best choise is to compare the Athenian constituion with the modern: In ancient Athens there was a direct democracy but in the other had lagre part of the population (slaves, migrants (metoikoi as they were called) and women didn't have the right to vote). In modern Greece the demorcacy as it happens everywhere in the West is representative, but also now women had the franchise (from 1947)Good luck with your research

Answer 3

There are several things about your question that I find hard to understand:

From what you say, you are supposed to do this big project "by yourself". So are you asking us to help you cheat? If that is the case, you may want to pose the exact rubric, as it was given to you by your teacher. "Something about comapring democracy in antic and today Greece" is too vague and does not help one understand what information you need.

If by "Antic Greece" you mean Ancient Greece your question makes no sense. Greece was not a unified state in ancient times - there were hundreds of different city states practicing a dozen different polities* and countless variants. But none of these city-states had a constitution per se, because constitutions are a modern political development.
