MONARCHY2000 - 800 B.C.E.
Most city-states ruled by monarch (king):In a monarchy the king has power to govern (no Queens had
power in Greece).
*At first the king selected by the people of city-state. Then when the king died, another leader was selected.
*Eventually though, Kings start to demand that power goes to their oldest son.

OLIGARCHY:800 B.C.E.
When the Aristocrats get power themselves, they form an oligarchy.
In an oligarchy the ruling power is in the hands of a few. Most city-states ruled by small group of wealthy men . . .
oligarchs.
*Aristocrats
*A few were Wealthy Merchants
(Oligarch is a Greek word that means "few")
MOST of the GROUP:
(wealthy men who inherited land)

TYRANNY:600's B.C.E.
Power by FORCE!
tyrant: one person that forced themselves into power and isn't a lawful king . . .

TYRANNY (Dictatorship):
Most were former military leaders who got support of their people by PROMISING them
more RIGHTS . . .
Took control by FORCE! Unlike a monarch a tyrant gets and keeps power using military force, not inherited.
-Many ruled well(made changes to help the poor)
(mean to aristocrats)Here's the deal - Tyrants can be good rulers but they don't have to be as long as they can force people to
obey them.

Not all Greeks liked this:Powerful speakers persuaded
some to vote foolishly . . .• Sometimes, assembly would reverse poor
decisions after a few weeks!• Takes a lot of time for everyone to vote on
every issue -- in theory everyone can participate, but if you have to work. . .

The Athenian democracy is not quite like our democracy.
We have a representative democracy -- we chose representatives to make laws
for us. Imagine if every citizen voted on every
law!!!!
