Athens was an incredible place and they were very smart, and different from all others. They had a very clever system of government, and that system was very like what we have today, a Democracy. They didn't take this great idea of a Democracy from any one, they made up Democracy, they created. They put the power in the hands of all the people, and also everyone is equal. Athens was a modle for everyone else. Many people looked up to them, and respected them.Athens also belived that every man should take an interest in politics. Everyone is well informed, and they all had a very big interest in the affairs of the state. Athens would also take so pretty big risks, but before taking action, and just doing it, they would call some type of meeting, and discuss and debate what they are wanting to do, and the consequences that might go along with those things. They didn't rush any of the things that there was a posibility of big consequences. They all had to agree, of win by majority, and only then will they make their move. Athens was very connected, and what they say or do, is as one. Athens also was very involved in community service. They would always help eachother out in times of trouble. They would do good to others rather than receiving. They would do good, not expecting any thing inreturn except for good-will. Athens was a truly remarkable place, that was filed with great, smart people, who were willing to go out of their way to help others. That is what made Athens a great place.
This is a picture/ painting of a politcal gathering in Athens.
