The forms of government changed over time dramatically. The three governments were monarchy, aristocracy, and oligarchy. The idea of a monarchy started to shrink in the 750 BC. This happened because the people that were able to help the citizens, were the people that could actually afford to buy things. These people were part of the noble landowners. This then involved the government into an aristocracy, ruled by the hereditary landholding elite. Then, as trade increased, wealthy merchants, farmers, and artisans began to take over and turn the government into and Oligarchy. Oligarchy is when the power is in the small wealthy elite. The main reason different forms of government introduced themselves is because the demand for an influential leader. For example, in a time of an economic boom, citizens would want a government that would be able to fill their needs and desires, not one that is unfamiliar with trade.

FranThe cities all originally set up their governments with a King. City states were called that because each city was also its own country. No one ruled all of Greece. Each city set up its government the way it wanted to. In Sparta, the king created a some severe laws for the people to use until he got back from vacation. He died while he was on vacation. The people continued to use them. Athens fired its king and became a democracy.
