∙ 6y ago
The citizens of Greece began to participate in their government in the late 6th century BC when reforms were enacted that allowed the citizens of Athens to have a more direct role in their government. This reform was known as demokratia which translates to "people power". The citizens of Athens were able to participate in their government through:
- Citizens Assembly - all citizens over the age of 18 were able to participate
- Boule - a council of 500 citizens chosen by lot who met every 10 days to discuss issues
- Courts - citizens could serve as jurors and judge cases
- Council of 500 - a smaller council of 50 citizens who served for one year and had more power than the Boule
The citizens of Greece were able to elect their leaders and participate in decision making processes which is a form of democracy that has continued in Greece to this day.

Even then not all people were allowed to participate, for example slaves existed at that time and were not considered part of the democratic process.
