DEMOCRACY

It was practiced in Athens for 100 years. It consisted of all adult citizens had to take an active part in government (rule by many) if called on to do so. At this time, citizens were free men. Women, children, and slaves were not citizens, and thus could not participate or vote.

Every year they selected 500 citizens who had to serve for one year. During that year, they were responsible for making new laws and for changing old laws. But, nothing they did became law until all the citizens of Athens had a chance to vote yes or no. Majority ruled. This form of government came to an end in

ancient Athens after Athens lost a war with Sparta. This was the Peloponnesian War. For a while, Athens was ruled by a small group of Spartans.

It is a government in which all citizens vote on rules and laws.

PHILOSOPHY

It is the study of the meaning and justification of beliefs about the most general, or universal, aspects of things – a study which is carried out, not by experimentation or careful observation, but instead typically by formulating problems carefully, offering solutions to them, giving arguments for the solutions, and engaging in the dialectic about all of the above. Philosophy studies such concepts as existence, goodness, knowledge, and beauty.
