1. The Athenian democracy was a direct democracy. The people actually voted directly on major issues. Today, we generally have indirect democracies in which we only vote for representatives who will make laws for us.
2. The Athenian democracy was much more restrictive in terms of who could participate. Women were not allowed to participate and there was a large group of slaves who could not participate either. It is believed that only about 10% of the population was allowed to participate in the democracy.(Our democracy is the opposite of all of these things I wrote.)(P.S. Please nobody erase this. Took me forever to write all of this.)

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
