Government

• There are many types of government that Ancient
  Greece used.
• They were oligarchy, monarchy, tyranny, and
  democracy.
• Democracy is what we use today.
• Democracy didnt form until the people werent
  happy with their rulers and they started to
  leave.
• Well at least some did.

Monarchy

• Monarchy is a form of government which land is
  ruled by a king, queen, or emperor, or any source
  of royalty.
• In the late Bronze age (between about 2000-1200)
  every city-state was ruled by a monarchy.
• After the dark age, only a few Greek city-states
  were ruled by a monarchy.

Oligarchy

• Oligarchy is a form of government which only a
  few people rule.
• Most city-states in the Archaic period were ruled
  by oligarchies.
• Which a group of aristocrats (rich men) bossed
  everyone around and told every one what to do
  because they were the ones that ruled.

Tyranny

• Where 1 person comes and takes over and rules by
  force.
• Tyrannies helped but people didnt know that.
• Tyrannies helped by trying to help people realize
  that if they cooperated behind and strong ruler
  that they could be the best.
• Well tyrannies didnt happen until the 600s or
  the 500s B.C.

Democracy

• The Athenians invented the 1st democracy in 510
  B.C.
• Where everyone has power.
• Wealthy citizens thought that it gave too much
  power to the poor.
• But everyone could vote.
• But many Greek city-states kept Oligarchic
  government, or tyrannies, or monarchies.
