The Ancient athens had a not very fair voting system, but at the same time it was fair but only for certain people. The reason why was because only men we're able to vote, but only men who's parents were both born in Athens. And that eliminates all women, even the women who's both parents were born in Athens. The rule also makes men who only had one parent born in Athens, or no parents born in Athens, but lived in Athens could not vote. Slaves couldn't vote either. Oh don't forget about the age restriction! the age restriction was over 20. So that is leaves a small amount of people who were considerd citizensBut for the men who's parents were both born in Athens and were over 20 they get a quite fair system.
I think that Acient Athen democracy was not fair, but at the same time i think it was some what fair. The biggest no to me is that only men who were born in athens and both parents too, and over 20 were the only ones that wherealoud to vote. I think that women should be allowed to vote. also I think that instead of the both parents born in Athens and you born in Athens it should of been thata you do like a test thing and see if you can be a citzen. I think that Ancient Athens should have been more fair in democracy!!
