Pericles did not have any form of government. He introduced radical democracy in the second half of the 5th Century BCE. This meant that power resided with the assembly of citizens. The council carried out its directions.
Pericles was limited to givng advice and trying to persuade the Assembly to follow it. Sometimes he succeeded, other times he didn't. The assembly was swayed by other orators too. Between them they sometimes led the assembly astray, resulting in war and hardship, as well as the benefits they mulcted from their empire.
