It was one of the first democratic governments in recorded history. Letting people vote on leaders was revolutionary at the time and did lead to things like the roman republic, the american revolution, and the french revolution. It lead to a lot of time being spent on the tragedy of being human or self aware. Which of course lead to things like maybe i deserve to have a say in the government.
Later when the Romans took over they looked at all the Greeks stuff and thought huh? maybe this is a good idea. And the rest of course is history.
Hope this helps
It was pesident Franklin D. Roosevelt who took the first steps to reach racial equality, but they were not enought. Nevertheless, during the period of president Harry S. Truman great efforts were made in this direction. Truman established a committee on Civil Rights. This was not well seen by the southern Democrats who <em>opposed firmly to the new civil rights</em>. They decided to form a new party, called <em>Dixiecrats</em>, an extremely (racially) conservative party. They even <em>intended to reach the White House</em>, naming a presidential candidate in 1948, however, they <em>did not successed</em>.
