Both Athens and Sparta had an Assembly, the members were elected by the people. Sparta who was ruled by two kings, the Agiads and Eurypontids, these two kings who mainly served as generals and high priest. Though they had no real power, they were known for their great influences. They ruled until they died or were forced out of office.

My essay will be about the Greek civilization about 4000 years ago. I will be explaining the government and how it affects the modern day. These paragraphs will be involving the explanation of the three organization to make the Greek government. The three will be including Ekklesia, Boule, and Dikasteria. All three will have their own paragraph explaining how they work on their own and how they work with each other to make a democracy.

First, let's start out with Oligarchy. There are few men who are in ruling power. They are very wealthy and enjoy a nice easy and simple life. The Oligarchs spent their day hunting and being apart of chariot races, at night they drink wine while laying on the couch and relaxing. But Oligarchy was not so simple as it looks, if you were not one of the few Oligarch you spent your day working all day long in the fields. The textbook says,” The hardworking poor saw the difference between there lives...and they thought it was very unfair,”(Frey,255). The difference of the two live styles never changed they only got worse. The Oligarchs only got richer while the poor only got more poor, and they started to hate the Oligarchs. Eventually the

Monarchy A monarchy is a form of government in which the ruling power is in the hands of a single person. Monarchy comes from the Greek terms monos and arkhein. It is a form of in which the people are led by a king, usually with the help of a council of advisors. He takes power legally and his sovereignty hereditary. The ruler is empowered to remain in power for life. One citystate whose government was a monarchy was the city-state of Corinth. Aristocracy

In Greece, monarchies were found when the Mycenaeans ruled Greece during the period 2000 to 1100 BC. Monarchy is defined as a system of government where a single ruler has supreme power. The word “monarchy” comes from the Greek words “monos” meaning “single” and “archo” meaning “rule”. This single ruler, known as a king, ruled for life and passed the rule on to his heir when he died. The most famous monarchy was that of King Alexandra of Macedonia who ruled all of Greece from 336 BC.

Let’s see what is Monarchy? It is a king or queen who gets all the powers of authority from inheritance and power stays in the same family, usually the bloodline from father to son. In Ancient Greeks, there weren’t too many monarchies, but there was some present and even Athens went under the monarchy at the end of the classical period which ended with the death of Alexander the Great. His father Phillip II of Macedon who became king after the deaths of his two brothers conquered Athens after the Peloponnesian war and ended democracy in the great city of Athens. (Wasson, 2014)

Monarchies were ruled by one family, with a direct blood relative (a son) inheriting the throne and a claim

First, the definition of a monarchy is “a state or nation in which the supreme power is actually or nominally lodged in a monarch (Dictionary.com, 2017).” Ancient Greek city-states that had a monarchy were Sparta (partially), as well as Macedonia and Epeiros. Monarchies were not found often in Ancient Greece (Cartwright and Cartwright, 2017). The form of governance most like a monarchy are tyrannies, since the center of power is on one person. The form of governance most unlike a monarchy are democracies, since the center of power rests with the largest group, the people themselves.

On the other hand, in an absolute monarchy, the monarch is presumed to be God-(or other deity)-ordained, and rules with no limits on their power.

Robert Michels believed that any political system eventually evolves into an oligarchy. He called this the iron law of oligarchy. According to this school of thought, modern democracies should be considered as oligarchies. Unfortunately, Oligarchy Governments really hide under the name of democratic. As an example, a number of former Soviet states, including Ukraine. Officially, we live in a democratic state, but we all know who is at the helm of state power. Ukraine is called a democratic state, which governed by a few oligarchic clans.

The king and queen are in charge of the absolute Monarchy and have all the power. The king and queen are also in charge of the constitutional Monarchy but have no power. The absolute Monarchy became in charge by inheriting the throne .The constitutional Monarchy became in charge by inheriting the frame. The absolute Monarchy remained in charge until they die. The constitutional Monarchy remain in charge until they quit,die,or lose the election. No, the laws are not made and enforced in the absolute Monarchy because people aren’t fair. The constitutional Monarchy’s laws are made and enforced because people are all treated equally. In the absolute Monarchy no, not all people are treated equally because 1 person does anything and everything.

In the beginning there were kings, one leader, who ruled over Athens and the Athenian government. Athens started as a monarchy, meaning they had one ruler, or multiple kings, for each area of Athens, who ruled that area. They were small-time kings

In a constitutional monarchy, all the citizens have voting rights and the king or queen act as a celebrity. In a constitutional monarchy everyone gets to vote so the king or queen don’t make all the decisions by themselves. Some countries that live under some form of monarchy are: The United Kingdom, Monaco, Malaysia, Liechtenstein, Jordan, Sweden, Thailand, and Holy

The third and final type of monarchy is an absolute monarchy. In an absolute monarchy, the monarchy has supreme and absolute authority to do what it wishes. An example of this occurs in the country of Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, the royal family can enforce any law it wishes- no matter how bad it could be for the country. Absolute monarchies are often very oppressive to its people. For example, Saudi Arabia has very strict laws that have been put in place by the royal family. The people living in the country have no voice in an absolute monarchy.
