Metics were the resident aliens of Athens. They were traders, students, craftsmen etc. They did not have citizenship rights, but had a degree of protection as residents. They were required to help defend the city if it was was threatened (but not required for expeditionary forces), having their own regiment and expected to fight as well or better than the citizens.

Name one difference between the way democracy was pracited in ancient Greece and the way it is practiced in the US today?
Democracy during the ancient Greek time differs from today because before only men could vote. Today all citizens 18 and older, are allowed to vote. A citizen's rights don't only apply to men. Citizens don't have to serve in the military to become citizens and no slaves are used anymore. Boys go to school after 13 or 14 and girls go to school today too. Females can participate in government and go to school. They aren't relied on to take care of the house and children. They can leave their homes as they want. There are no metics today.
