1. athenian democracy
2. both
3. spartan oligarchy

Explanation:

• Athenian democracy was a direct democracy where all eligible citizens could join the assembly, and the Council of 500 was selected randomly to ensure broad participation.
• Spartan oligarchy was controlled by a small elite: only a limited group of citizens (Spartiate men) could participate in the assembly, and its council (the Gerousia) was elected from wealthy, older elites.
• Both systems had elected government members, and both a council and assembly with lawmaking roles.

Answer:

Athenian democracy: all citizens could participate in the assembly, and the council was chosen at random
Both: some members of government were elected, and both the council and assembly created laws
Spartan oligarchy: only some citizens could participate in the assembly, and the council was elected
