What is democracy?

The word democracy comes from the Greek meaning ‘rule of the people’. Demos – peopleKratos – rule

A democratic government is one where citizens have a say in big decisions that are made for their community and country. A big part of democracy is allowing citizens the opportunity to elect people into government who will represent their views.

What happened before democracy was introduced?

Before democracy was introduced, the richest and most powerful people ruled most states. This meant that if you were poor you had no choice but to allow other people to make important decisions for you.

When was democracy introduced?

Greek democracy was born in Ancient Athens in 507 BCE. Cleisthenes introduced a system of government called ‘demokratia’ which allowed the people to rule. This system was the first known democratic government in the world. There were three key institutions that made up the Athenian system of government.

DEMOCRACY

The Assembly (Ekklesia)

The Ekklesia were responsible for writing and making changes to Athenian law. They met 40 times per year and any member of the demos – or adult male citizens – were welcome to attend. Crowds of up to 6000 people would gather. Members of the assembly could cast their vote by raising their hands and the majority vote would be passed.

The Council (Boule)

The Boule was made up of 500 men. 50 men from each of the 10 Athenian tribes (making 500 in total) were elected to serve as members of the Council for 1 year.The Boule met daily and they were the people who decided which important matters would be put forward to the Ekklesia for discussion. The Boule had a lot of control over which laws were written and changed.

The Popular Courts (Dikasteria)

The courts were made up of over 500 jurors were chosen daily. Male citizens who were over the age of 30 were entered into a lot and were chosen at random. There was no police force in Ancient Athens, so the citizens themselves were responsible for bringing cases to the jurors. The jurors voted on the verdicts and gave their sentences. The majority vote would be passed.
