Answer: Hundreds of people were accused during the trials, filling prisons of Salem and many neighboring towns. Nobody questioned if the “enchanted” girls were lying about who was a witch, but once the girls started to accuse the most kindhearted of people, the town started to question the trials.
The court was blindly convicting people off of fear of what extremely convincing teenage actresses pretended to see had the possibility to be true. The court was not even allowed to base laws off of religion; their main evidence was if the accused could recite the Lord’s Prayers. Unfortunately they did which eventually led to their royal charter being taken away. After the prayers they had four more pieces of evidence for a person to be a witch. First they had to have physical marks such as warts, moles or birthmarks. Then there were the witness testimonies, which means that they could have been lying out of revenge or because they were forced to.
Spartans were the first ones to present the democratic society (combined with monarchy) more than 150 years before Athens.
<span>How come?</span>
<span>With two kings,Gerousia,ephoroi and democratic assembly NO one had an absolute power(while mathematically democratic assembly made from all citizens had the most power,even to exile kings), and all (Elders,Ephoroi,Kings,Assembly) controlled and limited the power of each other. </span>
<span>So the assembly of all male citizens (their representatives) basically ruled Sparta.What is that if not democracy? </span>
<span>Athenians did no such thing,their "democratic" system was an absolute power of an assembly that was consequently very popular pray for power hungry,and the place in it was won by all kinds of unmoral deceptions,misuse of poor blind and illiterate etc</span>
<span>Being passive or not military effective has nothing to do with democratic society...Contrary to the popular belief Spartan citizens were not repressed...they wished and believed in what they were doing. How undemocratic was Athenian society clearly shows their treatment of women.</span>
