He guided it from a direct democracy to a radical democracy where the citizens met in fortnightly assembly and decided on actions to be implemented by the Council of 500. Political offices and public service positions were filled by lot, except for the generals who were nominated by their tribe. The courts were run by juries, usually of 500 selected by lot.
