Warm Up – 9/12 It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not a few. But while the law secures equal justice to all alike in their private disputes, the claim of excellence is also recognized; and when a citizen is in any way distinguished, he is preferred to the public service, not as a matter of privilege but as a reward of merit. Neither is poverty a bar, but a man may benefit his country whatever be the obscurity of his condition. --Pericles Funeral Oration And here there is a great and fair equality between weak and powerful, obscure and famous, poor and rich and noble… You have divided into two parts all the men of your empire…and everywhere you have made citizens all those who are the more accomplished, noble, and powerful people, even if they retain their native affinities, while the remainder you have made subjects and governed. And neither does the sea nor a great expanse of intervening land keep one from being a citizen, nor here are Asia and Europe distinguished. But all lies open to all men…There has been established a common democracy of the world, under one man, the best ruler and dictator…. --Aelius Aristides The Roman Oration, 155 C.E.
