Of democracy tyranny and oligarchy what government was first used in ancient Greece?
Monarchy- a form of government in which the people are led by one ruler, usually a king, who takes power legally and often hands the throne down to his son.
Oligarchy- a form of government in which the people are led by a small group of people, often wealthy aristocrats. This isn't usually very beneficial to the majority of the population.
Tyranny- a form of government very similar to monarchy, except a tyrant doesn't take power legally and can claim no right to the throne. A tyrant usually doesn't pass power to his son, and despite common stereotypes, not all tyrants were bad leaders.
Democracy- a form of government led by the people, either through representatives or directly. Democracy in ancient Athens was a direct democracy, in the USA today we have a representative democracy.
Aristocracy was rule of the 'best' - that is the aristocratic land/money holders. It's other name is oligarchy - rule of the 'few' - the few being the same people.
A tyrant was appointed, usually with support by the common people, to replace oppressive rule by aristocrats/oligarchs. They often became oppressive themselves as they had to levy tax to pay for the bodyguard they needed to avoid assassination by the aristocrats.
Democracy meant 'people power' where the people formed an assembly and directed the affairs of the state.
