According to the ancient historian Thucydides, Pericles strong-armed the democracy into his own power, essentially making Athens a democracy in name only.
The government was the assembly of the citizens. The council of 500 was drawn from the citizenry by drawing lot, and implemented the decisions of the assembly. Pericles and others had to persuade the assembly on what were the right courses of action. Sometimes his oratory didn't get him the answer he wanted. Democracy.
He organised the expulsion of the upper class rivals, continued his military leadership, promoted the interests of his allies, and introduced radical democracy where the citizens met in fortnightly assembly and voted on all issues, the decisions of which were implemented by the Council of 500.
He said that they were a democracy and that all men in Athens should have a part in government.
Adult males were citizens, and attended fortnightly assembly meetings, making decisions and laws, which were carried out by the Council of 500. We call it Radical Democracy or Direct Democracy.
Democracy in Athens was strengthen by Pericles because he raised awareness and created reforms for democracy. A reform that he created was paying salary to Athens' officials.
As the leader of the democratic faction of Athenian politics that swept into power, Pericles did change the democracy in Athens.
He banished his opponents and established a system of direct democracy where the citizens met in assembly and made decisions.
who told pericles to do democracy
According to the ancient historian Thucydides, Pericles strong-armed the democracy into his own power, essentially making Athens a democracy in name only.
He converted it into a radical democracy where the citizens in fortnightly assembly made the decisions and the Council of 500 implemented them. The juries in the law courts made the decisions on guilt and penalties - there were no judges or lawyers interfering.
It cut out the hundreds of other city-states in the Athenian empire who paid an annual tax to Athens but had no say or benefit from it, while half the citizens of Athens were on the public payroll living off them.
Pericles was not a democracy. Pericles was a statesman in Athens and was considered today as a general. Pericles did not make Democracy. The people of Greece did.
