During the Classical period the rulers were the people (adult male citizens). They assembled a couple of times a month to vote directly on all laws and major decisions. This is known as a direct democracy.
To prepare business for the Assembly, and to carry out the directions of the Assembly, a Council of 500 was elected, and 50 of these were, in monthly rotation, on duty at any one time to execute necessary action. These large numbers were used to cover the mixed capabilities of the citizens, assuming that any fifty had to have some men of talent in its ranks.
Office bearers were chosen by lot, so anyone could be one of the 10 Archons, who shared responsibility to organise specific functions (religious, administrative, financial, judicial etc). This caused a problem as the quality of them could not be guaranteed, so there was a complex array of helpers to ensure that things went smoothly. Serious jobs were givent by the peoplular assembly to one or more of the ten Strategoi (generals) who were appointed on merit, and so could be trusted to do it right.
