One of the main problems that Ancient Greece faced was that, contrary to popular perception, the land quality in Greece was not optimal. Terrain tended to be rocky and grasslands were not common.
Animal husbandry, therefore, was restricted to a small percentage of the population and was not well developed in Greece. Moreover, crops that were grown were resilient, but labor intensive (such as olives) or low in nutrients (for example, barley, as opposed to wheat). During the hot summers, irrigation was necessary, and due to the small number of farm animals, Greeks did not use animal manure or animal power, both of which greatly reduced their agricultural productivity.
All these factor meant that Greece could not achieve the large population that can be seen in large Ancient empires.

Andrew Jackson's term as president (1829-1837) began a new era in American politics. For the first time in the United States history a man born in humble circumstances was now President. Politicians in the previous generations gained precedence due to their family background, wealth, prestige, and education. Families such the Adams, and the Jeffersons constituted the guidelines for political appointees. Andrew Jackson’s election showed that a mans’ lineage did not ensure a place in office. Rather it was the candidate’s ability to appeal to the voter. It was Jackson’s election that started the supposed 'age of the common man'. Jackson became the defining figure of his age due to his ability to overcome early life struggles, his military record, and his successes as an adult. Despite all his accomplishments, Jackson downplayed his past successes to suit the public's belief that Jackson was one of them. In reality Jackson was anything but common. i hope it works
