Athenian democracy was limited by excluding women, slaves, and foreigners from participation, using sortition for selecting officials, and delegating government roles to small groups. Only free male citizens could vote, which comprised a small part of the overall population. These limitations highlight the disparity between the ideals of democracy and the reality in ancient Athens.
