The land's common folks, the labor class, could not read, write, nor was allowed to vote. Only the City-State stock holders, the bourgeoise aristocrats of their Corporate City-State could vote -as they still do in all Corporations at present times. ________ Each elected Corporate State's Priest-governor [President}got their authority from these Burgher families' votes. They ruled their City-State under a Democratic Republic. This Political 'Burgher System' can be found in ancient times and for over 7000 years in places around the world.
