Analyse who was included and excluded from Athenian democracy — only free adult male citizens (roughly 30% of adults) could participate, while women, enslaved people (who may have made up a third of the population), and foreign residents (metics) were excluded — and evaluate whether Athens truly deserves the title 'birthplace of democracy' by comparing it with modern representative democracies

Builds on: Athenian Democracy (hard, https://ai.page/c/athenian-democracy/en.md), Roman Republic and Empire (soft, https://ai.page/c/roman-republic-and-empire/en.md)
