Answer 1

The statement that most accurately describes the differences between direct democracies and monarchies is:

"Direct democracies promote freedom of choice and voting rights while monarchies are led by a single ruler whose word is law."

Explanation:

1. Direct Democracies: In direct democracies, the power lies with the people, who are actively involved in decision-making processes, often through voting in assemblies or councils (like the ecclesia mentioned in your chart). This system emphasizes individual voting rights and participation.

2. Monarchies: In a monarchy, power is concentrated in the hands of a single ruler (king or queen) who often inherits their position. The decisions made by the monarch typically have the force of law, and the populace has limited or no input in governance.

Other responses incorrectly characterize the structure and function of these systems by suggesting leadership complexity or misrepresenting the nature of power in each form of government.
