Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In Athens every male citizen had the right to vote, so they were ruled by a democracy. Rather than have a strong army, Athens maintained their navy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Athenian economy was based on trade. The land around Athens did not provide enough food for the entire city’s people. But Athens was near the sea, and it had a good harbor, so Athenians traded with other city-states and some foreign lands to get the goods and natural resources they needed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Greek name for a city-state was “polis". Each city-state, or polis, had its own government. Some city states were monarchies ruled by kings or tyrants. Others were oligarchies ruled by a few powerful men on councils.
