Ancient Roots of Democracy

I. Athens & Direct Democracy Ancient Greece was divided into city-states. Most were ruled by a king or a military dictator. Athens practiced direct democracy (ca. 500-350 b.c.)

I. Athens & Direct Democracy (cont.) Suffrage was limited. Slavery was common. Weakened by war, Athens was eventually conquered.

II. The Roman Republic The ancient Romans had a republic that lasted nearly 500 years. (ca. 500-44 b.c.) Citizens elected a Senate. As in Athens, women couldn’t vote, slavery was common.

II. The Roman Republic (cont.) Military success led to the creation of a large empire. People in conquered lands were made citizens of Rome. After Julius Caesar, Rome became a military dictatorship.

The Roman Empire

III. The Judeo-Christian Tradition Athens and Rome were polytheistic. Ancient Hebrews were monotheistic.

III. The Judeo-Christian Tradition (cont.) Some of the principles of Monotheism: 1) Individual worth. 2) Equality. 3) Adherence to a moral code (10 Commandments).

III. The Judeo-Christian Tradition (cont.) Ancient Hebrews were an insular people. Christianity arose from Judaism. Christians were evangelical.

III. The Judeo-Christian Tradition (cont.) Constantine made Christianity the official religion of Rome in 312. Centuries later, Europeans would take Christianity all over the world.
