Weegy: Athenian Democracy Direct participation was the key to Athenian democracy. In the Assembly, every male citizen was not only entitled to attend as often as he pleased but also had the right to debate, offer amendments, and vote on proposals. [ Every man had a say in whether to declare war or stay in peace. Basically any thing that required a government decision, all male citizens were allowed to participate in.1 Solon: The first changes toward democracy in Greece were started by the archon Solon in 594 B.C. Solon passed laws that not only protected Athenians from being enslaved or arrested for debt, but also gave them more rights. Solon divided the population of Athens into four political groups based on agricultural output. The most powerful group was the pentakosiomedimnoi which consisted of powerful land owning individuals. The next most powerful group was the hippeis, which consisted of archons and other high officials. The third group, the zeugitai held lower offices in the government. The least powerful of the four was the thetes, who owned no land and had little or no influence in government. Solon created the Council of 400 that consisted of 100 members of each political class. The purpose of this group was to screen business going before the Assembly. This council allowed the public to play a more active role in government, but the absolute power still remained in the hands of the Areopagus, the council of aristocrats. The invention of a civilian assembly also allowed the lowest class to serve as jurors in a trial for the first time. Solon was one of the founding fathers of democracy. Many of his reforms did not last for long, as Athens soon reverted to a tyrannical government, but other of his changes laid the foundations for modern democracy.3 Cleisthenes: The change from a tyrannical government to a democracy in ancient Greece was started by Cleisthenes. After the tyrant Hippias was exiled, Cleisthenes gathered the common people and received their backing by promising them changes in the structure of government. ]

User: What group of outsiders had tyrannical control of the Greek city-states in the sixth century B.C.? A.)Persians B.) Asiatic Huns C.)Babylonians

Weegy: none of the above: During this period, the concept of the polis, the Greek city-state, became well developed. [ Tyrannical political figures seized control of many of these city-states in the 7th and 6th centuries. Greek colonies abroad continued to flourish and new settlements were established, particularly in the region of the Black Sea. Colonies were founded at Mediterranean sites such as Cyrene on the North African coast and Massilia (Marseilles) in southern France. Highly developed commercial contacts continued in Egypt, Anatolia ]

The group of outsiders that had tyrannical control of the Greek city-states in the sixth century B.C. were known as tyrants. These were often individuals who seized power through force or manipulation, rather than being appointed through traditional political processes.
