Democracy, because in a democracy all citizens are represented in the government.
The same way we know about all Greek culture, they had written documents, buildings, art, and so on.
Actually, all the Greek city-states spoke Greek; there may have been regional accents, but the citizens could all understand each other.
The ancient Greeks only let men whose parents were ALL Greek, no other nationality. Women, children, slaves, and anyone whose parents weren't ALL Greek were NOT alowed to vote (pretty picky people!).

No. Theatre in ancient Greece was composed of all men.
Scholars say theatre originated in Greece and was spread to Rome through Roman Imperialism. The Romans adopted Greek theatre to their specific purposes. In the style of "Bread and Circuses," Roman theatre was meant to entertain the masses with spectacle and violence. The naumachiae were elaborate portrayals of sea battles involving real water-filled arenas and massive scale fights where actors were likely to die in the action. Basic costuming indicated status using certain colors to show a character's class, and stock characters helped the audiences not get lost in all the action onstage. Greek theatre had a more didactic and religious aim. It was born of religious celebrations for different Greek gods and featured characters who faced moral struggles. Masks were popular, and a chorus was essential in highlighting moral themes. All in all, Greek theatre was born of religion, artistry, and necessity; Roman theatre was more for spectacular entertainment. This is not to say that Greek theatre was any more valid or necessary. The two styles simply served different purposes. It is important to remember that while Greek theatre provided artistic and scholastic foundations for the modern theatre, Roman theatre paved the way for a wide range of entertainment, including Opera and masques.
