Contributions in Government Greece is the birthplace of democracy. For a short time, Athens' government was a direct democracy. In a direct democracy, all citizens got to vote on each law. Only free men who owned land, and were over the age of 20 were considered citizens.

Living in Ancient Athens Athens is the present day capital of Greece. The Acropolis was built on a high hill for protection and was the center of religion. The Agora (below the Acropolis) was an outdoor market and meeting place. Because Athens was built near the sea, it became a rich trading center.
