Athens democracy was like that. People made decisions for the ruling of the city. They never let any person get so much power that he could rule the city. Once a year there was vote held If anyone wanted to stop another one from getting power he wrote his or her name on a piece of broken pottery called ostraca. If 1 person's name was found on more than 6,000 ostraca, that person was ostracasized-force to leave the city for 10 years.
democracy
Ancient Greece - particularly Athens - was where democracy was first introduced. All the male citizens of Athens could vote for their leaders. Although this did not include women or slaves, this was the bulk of the male population of the city. The word democracy, in fact, comes from Greek: Demos meaning people and kratia being the word for government.
Pericles was not a democracy. Pericles was a statesman in Athens and was considered today as a general. Pericles did not make Democracy. The people of Greece did.
a democracy government is what the Aztecs had in grees just, like the United States of America has a democracy government.
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.
