Did the people of ancient Athens have a full democracy
Western democracy has a variety of ancient roots, but none runs deeper (or stronger) than Ancient Greece; in particular, the ancient city-state of Athens. It was in Athens that democracy first appeared in recorded history, and it is from Athens that modern advocates of democracy have taken at least partial inspiration for their own commitments to government "of the people, by the people, for the people."
The government in ancient Athens was an example of democracy. The Athenian government was the first democratic form of government recorded.
The direct democracy gave power to the people so the people supported it.
The people directly chose their king.
No empire established democracy. The first instance of democracy was in the city-state of ancient Athens, which was a republic. Since democracy means rule by the people, the terms democracy and empire are a dichotomy.
The first known example of democracy was in Ancient Athens, where they had a direct democracy where instead of electing representatives the people represented themselves.
Democracy did not basically arise out of all of Ancient Greece but out of Athens that has been called the cradle of democracy. It was established in Athens through the continuous reorganizations In 594 BC Solon was chosen as the first archon which was similar to a prime minister. He then established jury courts and increased the rights of the people.
it divides up power and lets the people decide. well, in ancient athens.
They ended up having a democracy in Athens and an assembly voted on laws suggested by the 50 people in the council of elders.
Ancient Athens is known for having a direct democracy, which is when the people directly vote on the laws. There are no representatives, the people meet together and run the government themselves.
