These are some of the things that Cleisthenes did to strengthen democracy (although he didn't call it democracy. He called it legal equality.):He divided the people by geographic area rather than by family relationships.He established an organizational structure that had people who were chosen by lottery rather than by who they were related to.He reorganized the city council (called the Boule) so that each group of citizens was equally represented.He also reorganized the legal system and made sure that jurors were representative of each group as well.
