Cultural and Scientific Advancements

 DEMOCRACY  DEMOCR CULTURAL AC DEMOCRACY SCIENTIFICCULTURAL

 Democratic principles and classical culture flourished during Greece’s golden age ( BCE) – a its height, Greece set lasting standards in politics, art, architecture, literature, and philosophy that are still influential today.  Hellenistic Culture – refers to the blending of Greek culture as well as Egyptian, Persian, and Indian cultures

 Origins of Democracy in Greece were to eliminate the power struggles between the rich and poor – allow all citizens to participate in government

 Draco took power in 621 BCE  Created a legal code that punished the rich and poor equally (first steps towards democracy)

 Solon took power in 594 BCE  Outlawed debt slavery (no citizen should “own” another)  Divided Athens into four social classes (top three could hold office, all others could participate in assembly)  Citizens were permitted to bring charges of wrongdoing against another

 Cleisthenes took power in 500 BCE  Broke up nobility, instead, he divided people into ten classes based on region, not wealth  All citizens could submit ideas for laws

 Eventually, Greek Democracy looked like this:  Direct democracy  Citizens: male; 18 years old; born of citizen parents  Laws voted on and proposed directly by assembly of all citizens  Executive Branch composed of a council of 500 men  Juries varied in size  No attorneys; no appeals, one-day trials

 How Greece’s Democracy influenced the US  Political power exercised by the citizens  Three branches of government  Legislative Branch makes the laws  Executive Branch carries out the laws  Judicial Branch conducts trials with paid jurors
