Day 6
Today in class we took a
quiz we also took some notes. my notes consisted of "Cleisthenes -
definitely a member of the elite" “saw the value
of tapping into the talents, intelligence, and energies of the non-aristocrats”
“What Cleisthenes did was a huge step forward - getting
“regular folks” involved in governing.” “But this
first democracy had its limits.” “citizens could participate - but only one-fifth of Athenians were
citizens (free adult male property owners born in Athens)” “after
several years, Athens practiced a direct democracy”
