Athens in ancient Greece displayed a very efficient form of democratic organization where people did not elect representatives to vote on their behalf and had the right to vote on legislation and execute bills. Three leaders, namely Solon, Cleisthenes and Ephialtes were responsible for this government although who was in charge of which institution is controvertible. It is agreed that Solon's constitution fell due to the oppression of Peisistratus and later on Ephialtes revised the one made previously by Cleisthenes. This type of direct democracy existed in Athens and also the surrounding regions of Attica. The greatest and longest democratic ruler of Athens was Pericles and after his demise Athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions around the times of the Peloponnesian War.
