The ancient Greeks only let men whose parents were ALL Greek, no other nationality. Women, children, slaves, and anyone whose parents weren't ALL Greek were NOT alowed to vote (pretty picky people!).
We vote for our leaders today, just like Ancient Greek. We also count ballets and meet up to vote. Not only that, but,like the Ancient Greeks, the leaders(presidents)have debates on why you should vote for them.
Only male citizens were allowed to vote in both the Roman and Grek government.
Athens was the Greek city-state known for its direct democracy. In this system, citizens participated directly in decision-making rather than through elected representatives. Athenian democracy allowed male citizens to vote on legislation and executive decisions in assemblies, fostering active civic engagement. This model of governance significantly influenced later democratic systems around the world.
In today's terms yes. But back then, the notion that every male citizen could vote was revolutionary.
The Greek city-state that is widely credited with founding democracy is Athens. In the 5th century BCE, under the leadership of figures like Cleisthenes and Pericles, Athens developed a system of direct democracy where citizens could participate in decision-making. This political innovation allowed free male citizens to vote on laws and policies, laying the foundation for democratic governance that influences modern democracies today.
yes
The basic features and limitations of Greek democracy included the women, slaves, and poor having no rights in any form. It was a direct democracy and only men who were land owners were allowed to vote.
It was a limited democracy. Only certain citizens were allowed to vote.
The Greek world was comprised of hundreds of independent city-states each with its own government and system of government. These systems changed in each city over time. Different systems allowed a limited number of citizens to vote according to property qualification. Others allowed all citizens to vote regardless. The words oligarchy (rule by the few) and democracy (people power) are relevant.
They allowed women to vote so that way there could be more votes and more elections.
We vote for our leaders today, just like Ancient Greek. We also count ballets and meet up to vote. Not only that, but,like the Ancient Greeks, the leaders(presidents)have debates on why you should vote for them.
Yes the Greeks held a selective democracy.
Yes in a true democracy everyone has the right to vote, everyone has a voice and opinion.
Ireland is a democracy, so Irish citizens can vote once they reach the age of 18.
Early Greek democracy was a direct democracy. There would be occasional town meetings that took place in the amphitheaters where all citizens could discuss and vote on the issues of the day.
