One way people participated in democracy in Athens was through direct democracy, where citizens had the right to vote on issues and make decisions collectively.

A second way people participated in democracy was through the assembly, where all citizens had the opportunity to speak and express their opinions on various matters.

These were important because they allowed all citizens to have a say in the political decision-making process and ensure that the government acted in the best interests of the people. It promoted equality and provided a sense of ownership and responsibility among the citizens towards their city-state.
