Answer 1

hahahah you are definetly a kid from la salle heres my essay....dont copy it Around 750 B.C., Athens slowly progressed from a monarchy, which was ruled by one man, the king. The king almost always inherited the power by family succession. They quickly jumped from a monarchy to an aristocracy, which is ruled by a small group of nobles who wrested power from the king. From there, it went to a tyranny, then finally to a democracy. A democracy is ruled by the people. Their democracy encouraged similar reforms in a number of Greek city-states. Unfortunately, around the 7th and 8th century, there was discontent in Athens, and things started to fall apart. Economically, the small farmers were unable to compete with low priced grain imports. They had to borrow money from wealthy nobles, and sold their land as security. When they were unable to pay their debt, they would lose their land, and most likely sold into slavery. Politically, the common people had no voice in the government. As the king lost power, control passed entirely into the hands of the aristocracy, or the wealthy nobles.
