Ancient Greece

Homework Questions  1. What is a city-state?  A small, isolated community with its own government  2. Why did Greece develop city-states?  The mountainous terrain made communication & transportation difficult, so cities developed as independent governments.

Homework Questions  3. Describe two forms of government, which developed in Greek city-states:  Monarchy – Gov. ruled by a king or monarch  Aristocracy – Gov. ruled by a small, privileged upper class  4. What is a direct democracy? Does the United States currently have a direct democracy? Why or why not?  Direct Democracy – All citizens participate in government (For example, in Athens all male citizens took turns serving on the governing “Assembly”.)  No, the U.S. is not a Direct Democracy, because we do not all make decisions in government. Instead, we elect people to make decisions for us. What is that called?

Homework Questions  Republic = Representative Democracy – A Gov. in which people elect representatives to run government for them (Example: The U.S. has a republic/rep. democracy, because we elect the President and Members of Congress.)  5. What is a limited democracy? Does the U.S. currently have a limited democracy? Why or why not?  Limited democracy – not all people can participate in government (In Athens, women, slaves, and people born outside of Athens could not participate)  No, we do not have a limited democracy. All citizens can participate if they want to.

Homework Questions  6. Name two Greek philosophers and describe their ideas.  Socrates: people should learn through answering questions and proving the beliefs with reason (Socratic method); Code of Conduct – citizens must obey law  Plato: Justice for all; Philosophers as kings  Aristotle: Logic – using evidence & reason to determine the truth; Moral behavior & moderation  Question: Other new VOCABULARY words?
