Legacy of Greeks • Government-different forms • Some city states had Democracy • Gov. “by the people,” “rule of the many” • Who was considered “the people”? • Adult males only citizens w/ political rights • Some states had Oligarchy • “rule by the few” • Group of elders, powerful, wealthy make all decisions • Difference between the 2 best represented by rivalry between Athens/Sparta
Athens • 700-600 b.c Athens was an Oligarchy • Around 600 b.c. serious economic problems • Farmers unable to repay debts—cries for reform • 594 power given to 1st reformer: Solon • Cancelled all land debts • Freed people from slavery who couldn’t pay
Athens • Next reformer: Cleisthenes 508 b.c. • Created council of 500 • Foreign affairs, oversaw treasury $$, proposed laws to Athenian Assembly • Athenian Assembly: composed of male citizens, had final authority to pass laws after debate • This is origin of Athenian Democracy because citizens now had central role in Poli. system
Athens • Next reformer: Pericles 461 b.c. • Under Pericles • Athens empire expands abroad • Athenians become deeply attached to Democratic system of Gov. • Direct Democracy • People participate directly in Gov. decision making through large public meetings and voting
Sparta • Athens rival-can’t stand each other-very different philosophies of Gov. • Oligarchy – “rule by the…” • Headed by 2 Kings-led the Spartan army in battle • Group of 5 men elected each year • known as “Ephors” • Responsible for training of all youth and conduct of citizens • Council of Elders • Composed of the 2 kings and 28 citizens (age: 60) • No debate, just voting
Sparta • Did not expand out-closed to outside world • Citizens could not travel • Discouraged education in philosophy, literature, arts • Considered new ideas dangerous to the “Spartan way of life” • “Art of war” was Spartan ideal • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkWS9PiXekE&feature=related
