Athenian Democracy Was Exclusive The rights afforded to citizens and non-citizens were very different , whereas the current system provides equal protection to all citizens.
Democracy during the ancient Greek time differs from today because before only men could vote. Today all citizens 18 and older, are allowed to vote. A citizen's rights don't only apply to men. Citizens don't have to serve in the military to become citizens and no slaves are used anymore.
