Athenian democracy developed around the 6th century BC in the Greek city-state of Athens. Solon (in 594 BC), Cleisthenes (in 508–07 BC), and Ephialtes (in 462 BC) contributed to the development of Athenian democracy.
What are their contributions?
- Born in 638BC, Solon was a wise statesman and law maker and responsible for a number of important political reforms.
- Cleisthenes divided the citizens of the city into ten ’tribes’ and each tribe could elect 50 men to sit on the new ‘Council of 500’.
- Pericles believed in democracy and under his rule, the appointments were made using lots, to ensure fairness. Pericles wanted to unite Greece, but unfortunately Sparta -which was a rival city-state- did not and the Peloponnesian War began.
How does the United States practice these democratic ideas?
- The United States practice legislative arm of government and therefore the country has law makers.
- The United States also have different states and are 50 in number.
- America also follows thorough screening through the legislative arm for appointment. Again, America is also a country where unity is fought for before the establishment of the United States.
Therefore, the correct answers are as given above.
