What was the Failure of Athenian Democracy and what impact did it have on the democracy in Athens?

Athens was a pure democracy. It lacked constitutional protections; so that a slim majority could disenfranchise large portions of the population. It lent itself to demagogues and pandering politicians. Plus, it was a democracy of the elite. Only adult male property owners both of whose parents were Athenian could vote. If you were female, devoid of property, or had the misfortune to have one of your parents be born in another city, you could not vote--to say nothing of resident aliens who spent their whole lives in the city, or slaves. There were also class conflicts between the aristocratic elite and the merchant democrats. The gridlock formed by the political factions meant that Athens could not formulate an effective policy against the Macedonian threat.


Why did slavery system become a major issue in American Civil War?

Abolitionists in the North saw slavery as an immoral practice and began lobbying congress to abolish the practice, but there was also an economic component to the dispute. The North's economy was industrial, based on manufacture, and did not require as many people, even though the Northern population was greater. The South's economy was agrarian, requiring, in the days before agricultural mechanization, intensive physical labor, far more people than the free population of the South had. The South saw slavery as, at the very least, a necessary evil, that allowed an elite few to live a lavish lifestyle. Politically each faction tried to gain a majority, or at least a sizable enough minority, to prevent the other side from passing legislation that would hinder its cause: in other words-gridlock.
