Why do some historians claim that Athens was not actually a democracy? a-Athens did not have enough government offices to be considered a true democracy.

b-Athenians did not actually vote on things—they just voiced their preferences on issues.

c-Some residents were not allowed to vote because they weren’t considered citizens.

d-Many Athenians claimed that their elections were rigged by corrupt officials.

Correct answer is c. Some residents were not allowed to vote because they weren’t considered citizens.

Explanation:

A is not correct, as Athens had a couple of institutions that were bringing decisions, including Assembly, called Ecclesia.

B is not correct as Athenians were voting, usually by acclamation though.

C is correct as there were a lot of people, even slaves, who didn't have right to vote and participate in the decision making process.
