I think that Athenian democracy was not fair because they barely let anyone vote for what they wanted and they thought that women had to be restrained. The only people aloud to vote had to be in the military. And the people who were chosen to be the leaders were picked by a lottery instead of being chosen by skill and ability. I think that it was especially unfair because the people who should have been voting were being slaves. Over 1000 people were slaves, that is not fair. Voting is probably the most important part of democracy because that is the way that people made decisions. The government was also not very nice because they told people who did not participate in democracy (practically everyone) idiots. My final word is that the Athens idea of democracy was not fair in almost any way. Athens may have been a powerful city-state but they did not have a fair democracy. That is my opinion.
