1 answer

The correct answer is "The assembly, the courts, and the council."

In ancient Athens, the primary components of its democratic government included:

  1. The Assembly (Ekklesia) - where citizens gathered to discuss and vote on laws and decisions.
  2. The Courts (Dikasteria) - where citizens served as jurors and participated in the legal process.
  3. The Council (Boule) - which was responsible for setting the agenda for the Assembly and overseeing various government functions.

These institutions worked together to create a system of direct democracy, where eligible citizens could participate in governance.
