Today in Mr.Schicks class, we learned:
- Polis: fundamental political unit, made up if a city and the surrounding countryside
- Monarchy: rule by a single person
-Aristocracy: Rule by a small group if noble, very rich, land-owning families
-Oligarchy: Wealthy groups, who seized power similar to aristocracy
-Tyrant: Powerful individual who seized control by appealing
- democracy: when the people rule instead of higher up people
- helot: peasants forced to stay on the land where they worked
- hoplites: well armed soldiers
we also talked about Draco and he ruled during 621 BC and these were some of his rules:
- all Athenians are equal people under the law
- death is a punishment for many of the crimes
- work as a slave to pay debts is OK
then a man named Solon came along in 594 BC and made some reforms:
- outlaws debt slavery
- all Athenian citizens can speak at assembly
- any Athenian citizen can press charges
