The Father of Democracy: Solon, Cleisthenes and Pericles

From the beginning, humans have found a habit of mutual control. This form of rule is only a more sophisticated system from combat to democracy. Democracy is a government system that completes the entire population through elected officials. This advanced form of government has just started in ancient Greece. In the 5th and 6th centuries of ancient Greece, Solon changed the world. As you know, the Athens government was founded in 460 BC and was influenced by tyranny.

Democracy of Athens in Claystenness and Pellicle was based on citizen's freedom (by Solon's reform) and citizen's equality (Isnomia) - introduced by Claystennes and later expanded by Ephialtes and Pericles. To keep these principles, the Athenians used a lot to choose officials.

In addition, in most positions selected for lotteries, Athens citizens can not select multiple times; office rotation means that no one can establish the foundation of power by staying in a particular place.

Historians vary depending on which of them is responsible in terms of which agencies are responsible for which agencies and which institutions represent true democratic movements. Because Solon 's constitution has collapsed and replaced by tyranny of Peisistratus, the most common is the Cleisthenes of Athens' democratic era, Ephialtes amended the Constitution of Cleisthenes relatively peacefully. Hipparchus was a brother of tyrant Hippias and was murdered by Harmodius and Aristogeiton. They were respected by Athenians for being accused as later restoring the freedom of Athens.

Certainly more than half a century after Solon's legislation, Claysthen introduced the mathematical ordering of Athens attitude politics, Athens Democrat interested in arguing that the concept of Claystenn's constitution is Solon's concept had. Whether Solon and Cleisthenes are founder of Athenian's democracy was the theme of political discussion. Herodotus who wrote before the Peloponnese War began told a long story about the history of Athens, stated that Solon was a wise man, and had not changed for ten years as the introduction of Nomo ceased. Athens (29 years old).
