Yes

Living from the early 7th to the late 6th century BCE, the ancient Athenian Solon is considered to be one of the central founders of Athenian democracy. For instance, against the tendency to focus power in the hands of a few wealthy citizens, Solon worked to put political power in the hands of citizen-groups and to ensure that all classes of society would be represented in the society's decisions and laws.

No, the US has a representative democracy.

It was the Greeks who created democracy. Athens developed into the first ever democracy. It came about through a three reforms over a period of 130 years which weakened the power of the ruling elite The origins of these reforms were the facts that the clans of the ruling elites at times clashed and this led to tyranny and that the elites often abused the poor. This eventually led to the concept of democracy, which to the Greeks it meant power to the people. Their democracy was different than us. It was direct. This means that people did not elect representatives. They voted on legislation themselves. The did so in the Assembly of the People, which was open to all male citizens. This assembly had four functions: it issued decrees, it legislated, it elected some officials and it tried political crimes. It was through the creation of these powers for this assembly that democracy was established.

Rome was never a democracy. During the monarchic period it was ruled by a king, during the republican period it was an oligarchy and during the period of rule by emperors the emperor was an absolute ruler. The middle and lower classes never had a substantial share in decision making. There was a democratic element. Three different types of popular assemblies elected the officers of state and voted on bills. However, the aristocracy and the wealthy entrepreneurial elite controlled politic via their control of the senate, the city's most powerful political body.

No, they did not. They favored liberty and freedom for all, protected by a Constitution of absolute government limits and lead by leaders who were elected, not coronated. The founding fathers limited the democratic process and who could vote to just land owners in the beginning. It was only later, through many years and many suffrage movements, that most other people got the right to vote. The real defect in the democratic system occurs when we confuse the procedure of democracy (only good for electing our leaders) with the idea of democracy as a system of government. The founders adopted the democratic system as a procedure to give themselves a Republic, which would ensure the preservation of liberty, freedom and the right to seek happiness.

The fact that he did not 'rule'. He promoted democracy, and his ascendance as First Citizen occurred by his ability to give a lead, select beneficial courses of action for Athens and its people, and his persuasive ability.

In the agora - the market place; for gossiping, in the perfume shops; for philosophic discussions, in the stoas, the verandas of major buildings; or just sitting down in the shade of olive trees.

First of all, we should note that only Athens and a few other city-states were ever democracies. The vast majority of Ancient Greece was ruled by monarchies or oligarchies and not by elections. However, in Athenian democracy, all of the citizens voted on policies, which made Athens a direct democracy.

No. Though machine politics played a role in elections involving Franklin Delano Roosevelt, there was no serious threat that a dictatorship would form during the Depression. The US lacked the machinery to allow a dictatorship to form - secret police forces, massive standing military forces, or a slave-labor economy.

• Compromise is important in democracy as it ensures that no side will stalemate, and both all sides could get some part of what they initially wanted.

In the mid 330s BC Athens was conquered by the Macedonians from north of Greece.

The Greeks were not under Pericles. The Greek world comprised hundreds of independent city-states with different forms of government. Pericles became First Citizen of the city-state of Athens. Pericles consolidated direct democracy in Athens, that is all the citizens of whatever property class were able to attend the meetings of the Assembly held a couple of times a month to vote on laws and policy decisions (as opposed to representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives to a parliament which enacts laws). Also, persons for public office were selected by lot, which meant that any citizen could hold the highest offices in the state (appointment of generals was excluded from this - the people weren't that suicidal, they wanted real talent there). In addition, the judges at trials were large juries (typically 400, but up to 2,000), also chosen by lot. In addition Pericles made sure of his popularity be putting nearly a third of the citizenry on the public payroll, so that they would share in the prosperity of the state (this prosperity came to a large degree by hi-jacking the funds of the Anti-Persian league which Athens led and collected the funds for, and held on the Parthenon). Athens encouraged the allied and subject cities in the Anti-Persian league (read Athenian empire in its later stages) to adopt radical democracy as had Athens.

we are all for the people, by the peoplw

They developed a radical democracy where all citizens met in assembly fortnightly to direct the council on actions to be taken. This is practicable only in a small state where citizens can cover the distance to vote in person. With our large states today this is impracticable, so we have representative democracy where elected representatives meet in a parliament to carry out the wishes of the people.

The American Founders established protective measures against the 'paradox of democracy' in this general way: they founded the United States of America as a republic rather than a full-fledged democracy. By doing so, they prevented any 'tyranny of the majority' from directly using governmental power to oppress the nation as a whole while also ensuring slow, orderly change (if change should be desired) in American government, among other protective measures.

i hope u liked this and thought it was helpful!

The ancient Greek city-state of Athens is considered to have been organized as a limited democracy during much of its Classical Period simply because its democratic privileges and rights did not extend to all of its members. For instance, only certain males were allowed to vote and to hold public office.

The democracy in Athen included adult male citizens who chose to be part of it.

So who showed up?

Citizens who were rich enough to hold slave had free time to study philosophy and politics. All of the citizens in town when a legal case was argued were able to be part of a jury. However, a group of oligarchs was able to seize some power [ becoming more equal than the rest] and furthered there political ends by voting to banish troublesome citizens.

The powerful group changed but was alway small relative to the citizens.

First of all, we should note that only Athens and a few other city-states were ever democracies. The vast majority of Ancient Greece was ruled by monarchies or oligarchies and not by elections. However, the difference between Athenian democracy and the Roman Republic was that, in the former, all of the citizens voted on policies, whereas in the latter, only elected representatives voted on policies. (The difference was between direct democracy and representative democracy.)
