"In a direct democracy, citizens participate directly in decision making, and in a representative democracy, citizens elect officials to make decisions on their behalf."

This correctly captures the key difference: Athenian democracy was direct (eligible citizens voted on laws and policy themselves), while American democracy is representative (citizens elect officials to make those decisions).
