AC Gov't Quiz

QuestionAnswer
Polis A Greek city-state that acts like its own independent country
City-state Isolated settlements with different beliefs and forms of gov't, among other things
Hoplite A soldier in the ancient Greek army that were on foot and carried spears
Phalanx A formation in which Hoplites assembled in for battle; they stood in lines with their spears raised, facing the enemy
Acropolis A hill that forts, agoras, and markets were on. Surrounded by farms + neighborhoods
Agora A market and also a public space for debating
Citizen Someone who was born in or owned lots of land in a city-state. Anyone could be a citizen, but only men got its accompanying rights
Aristocrat A very wealthy person who sometimes advised the king
Monarchy One (mono) king ruled and was advised by aristocrats. His rule was either passed down from father to son, or a new king was elected
Oligarchy A form of government where a few (oli) aristocrats overtook the king. They made the rich richer and the poor poorer
Tyranny Where power is taken by force. Tyrants were often popular and supported common people. Very unstable/volatile, though
Democracy Rule by the people. Pretty good, except too many cooks in the kitchen/dumber citizens could be persuaded to vote unwisely
Rights and responsibilities Male citizens had rights. They included voting, running for public office, going to court, and own property
How do the responsibilities of the ancient Greek citizens compare to those of US citizens? America: More ways to become a citizen. Citizens can vote for representatives. All citizens have the same rights. General idea still kind of applies in both cases
