Detailed explanation-1: -By 500 B.C.E., a new form of government was created in the city-state of Athens. This type of government, called democracy, gave all of the power to the people. It would soon become one of the most popular and longest-lasting types of government-not only in Greece, but in the whole world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Now an ancient Greek monarchy could be an absolute monarchy, where the king was law. More common, however, was a democratic monarchy. For example, Sparta had two kings, but they were kept in check by an assembly.
Detailed explanation-3: -The type of government in which all citizens participate in large meetings and vote on all issues is known today as a direct democracy.
