Comparison of Greek Government and Philosophy
The Greeks were, in my opinion, the pioneers of a functional government. I admire how they ran thier government, especially in Athens. “In earliest times, Athens was governed by a monarchy. A monarchy is a Greek work meaning ‘ruled by one.’ Soldiers handpicked their new leader and put him into power. Monarchy did not last long in Athens. In 800 B.C., the Athenians built a new government called an oligarchy, which means ‘ruled by the few.’ In 600 and 500 B.C., some leaders were known as tyrants. A tyranny is an unjust government led by someone who has taken power. By 508 B.C. democracy started in Athens. Greece had one of the first democracies ever!” (www.fcps.k12.va.us/OakViewES/harris/96-97/agespages/greece/government.html)“In Greece democracy meant ‘Power of the people,’ although women couldn't vote or run for office. Citizens who were 18 and male could be council members, judges or government officials. All three jobs lasted only one year and not one single person got paid for their services! The assembly would meet at the Acropolis four days every month.” (www.fcps.k12.va.us/OakViewES/harris/96-97/agespages/greece/government.html) Rome had a republic, which was very similar to that of Ancient Greece.
