Second, power constraints. Citizens directly decide matters related to laws and policies through assembly. Every free man in the polis is a citizen, and public affairs are presided over by the consul they elected.

From this, we can understand that because human nature is equal, the people have the right to participate freely and independently. Only with autonomy can we say that sovereignty lies in the deep-seated real democracy of the people.

However, due to the prevalence of absolutism in ancient China, the stage of democratic system and political power could not develop.
