A statesman named Solon who made the laws prohibited the enslavement of debtors.

The correct answers are the last two:

a statesman named Solon who made laws prohibited the enslavement of debtors;

and

the leadership of Cleisthenes who presented a constitution in 508.

Solon (640-558 BC) did not originate democracy in Athens, but did take steps that led in that direction. According to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, "While Solonian reforms did not establish democracy, they were a crucial step on the Athenian road to democracy. Solon's constitution, consisting of moderate redistribution rather than a revolutionary transfer of political power, nonetheless granted important rights to the lowest class of citizens."

Cleisthenes (570-508 BC) is known as the founder of Greek democracy. He aligned himself with the Assembly (of the people) against the aristocracy and managed to impose democratic reforms by means of a new constitution that was approved by the Assembly and implemented in 508 BC. There's much more to the story than that, but we'll keep it brief here.


As to the other answers, Plato founded a school of thought in Athens prior to Aristotle, and neither of them viewed democracy all that favorably.

Nobles worked against tyrannical monarchs for their own benefit, not to spur democracy.

Tyrants were called "tyrants" (a word referring to an absolute ruler or dictator) because they ruled for their own interests, not for "the needy."

Oligarchy ("government by the few") would not support democracy ("government by the people").

Which of the following lists in the correct chronological order the creation of the following Chinese groups? A. United League,
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: A. United League, GMD, CCP

Explanation:

Tongmenghui or The United League in English was founded in 1905 by Sun Yat-sen and others as a result of a merger between different Chinese revolutionary groups and was formed with the aim of ending the Chinese Empire and initiating a republican government that would be fairer on its people.

The Guomindang (GMD) or Kuomintang as it is popularly known, was the successor to the United League and was originally founded in 1912 by Sun Yat-sen but was dissolved the following year before being reformed in 1919. After being expelled from mainland China in 1949, they took over Taiwan and governed it as a single party state until 1986. They remain a strong opposition party there today.

The CCP or the Chinese Communist Party is the current governing and only main party in the People's Republic of China. Founded in 1921 by Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, they endured several hardships under the GMD but under the leadership of Mao Zedong finally won the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and expelled the GMD from mainland China.
