We read a lot about early government and democracy. Write a two-page paper discussing the various ways ancient governments differ from modern American democracy. Feel free to use examples from the modern world to balance what we have learned about Athens, Rome, Sparta, Persia, and other ancient societies. In the process, though, you must demonstrate a good understanding of the ancient world. Take care to be specific!

Be sure to organize your work by paragraphs with topic sentences, an introduction, and a conclusion. You should check spelling and grammar before submitting your work.
