Which statement best describes how american government compares to the one that existed in ancient athens? both governments used random selection to choose citizens to serve in the legislature. both governments eventually gave the right to vote to women and enslaved people. both governments encouraged citizens to participate in the decision-making process. both governments allowed citizens to vote directly on nearly every important decision.

The correct answer is option: Both governments encouraged citizens to participate in the decision-making process.

Explanation:

Both governments adopted democracy which would give people some power to influence the government.

The main difference between the two is that in Ancient Athenians, the citizens have the right to directly vote for the legislation.

In united states government, the citizens only have the right to vote for the representatives that would work for the legislation.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
