The citizens, the magistrates, the Council of 500.
Athens pioneered democratic self-rule, but it was different from today's representative democracy. It was direct democracy where the adult male citizens met in fortnightly assembly and decided on issues of governance and politics - the council carried out its decisions. Democracy comes from the Greek words meaning 'people power'. In today's representative democracy elected members of parliament direct governance, and are far less attuned to what their people really want until it comes time for new election promises in order to get re-elected.
Yes, Athens was the birth place of democracy.
What would happen to democracy in which few people voted
In order to preserve democracy a citizen must abide by the laws of democracy.
i dun know
Mary Mackillop did not have any input into the development of democracy in Australia.
At first, Solon let citizens participate in the government. Then Cleisthenes increased the power of citizens so that they can submit laws, etc. Pericles increased the number of paid officials and by paying jurors. So mainly, it begins with the citizen participating in the government, a first step into making Greece into a democracy. They emphasize that people are not subjected to a ruler, but a citizen.
You have to pay a tax when you leave the Athens airport to help maintain Greece for the tourasim.
Sparta and Athens had been allies for some time. Sparta helped Athens in its struggle for democracy in late 507 BCE, and had also sent its army to help Athens at Marathon in 490 BCE 10 years earlier but had arrived too late for that battle. Athens was not present at Thermopylae, its forces were committed to manning its navy at the simultaneous battle of Artemesium. So the answer is False - Athens and Sparta were allies long before joining other southern Greek cities which united to repel the Persian invasion, and remained allies until 460 BCE when they had a falling out.
