Greek Gov. Summative

This is a review for the summative on ancient Greek government.

QuestionAnswer
Government under Cleisthenes (500 BC) (Who is Cleisthenes and who is a citizen of Athens?) Around 500 B.C. an aristocrat named Cleisthenes gained power and set up the world’s first democracy. Citizens were males over the age of 18 that had Athenian fathers
Government under Cleisthenes (500 BC) (What did the government look like under Cleisthenes?) All citizens participated in the creation of laws. All citizens had the right to speak their opinions. All citizens would vote on decisions using a show of hands or on broken pieces of pottery. Citizens served on juries and decided court cases.
Government under Pericles (460 BC) (What changes did Pericles Make?) Paid people to serve in government and on juries. Now poorer people could take time off from jobs to serve since the government would now pay them. This allowed all citizens, rich and poor, to give more focus and energy to improving Athens.
How democracy looked in Athens that was different from the U.S. democracy today Direct democracy: all people participate in all decisions & outcomes. Every citizen could speak opinions openly. No checks & balances (separation of powers), all male citizens enacted, enforced, created laws. Women/slaves no vote, only free men vote.
How democracy looks today in U.S. Representative democracy: people elect representatives to make the decisions for them. Separation for powers between executive, legislative, and judicial branches (checks and balances). Men and women who are citizens have the right to vote.
