In the radical democracy era of the second half of the 5th Century BCE, government was by the people - that is the adult male citizens - in fortnightly assemblies. They could raise any issue, including relations with other Greek city-states or foreign states, decide on war and peace, control of its allies/empire, domestic issues, anything. The Council of 500 could put issues before them, and carried out the Assembly's directions between meetings. The people were the government, and also constituted the courts, without judges to interfere with their deliberations and decisions.
