How does the archon of ancient Greece relate to our government today?

kykrilka [37]

The principal magistrates in the Ancient Greece were the 9 archons, who formed a corps of 10 with the secretary of the tesmótetas. The principal archons were:

- The chief or eponymous archon: he was the visible head of the State and gave his name to the year. With executive functions within the civil life of the city, it was the highest authority unless it was at war or extraordinary situation. He presided over and organized the great Dionysians and had some judicial duties: he is responsible for judicial processes.

- The archon king (basileus): was the main religious official of the state and judicially understood in religious causes. Heir to the rituals of the kings, he is in charge of the Mysteries, of the public sacrifices in general, of the processions, of the January Dionysians. He is the president of the Areopagus.

- Archon polemarco: he was no longer military leader, but he understood in the judicial cases of non-citizens. The Polemarco organizes civic ceremonies in relation to the army.

- The 6 archbishops tesmótetas: they were in charge of judicial and legal functions. They were the magistrates in charge of transcribing and guarding the sentences issued by the judges. The six tesmotetas (or depositaries of the institutions) instruct the rest of the causes and lawsuits. In the fourth century they revise and coordinate annually the set of the legislated.

Lately there are many people that criticize the current form of democracy (government of the people) that is practiced in most of the Western countries, since it is very easy to become a demagogy. In a demagogy we seek to direct the people through propaganda and discourse, that is, to convince ourselves of what is best for us through words. The thing is that we do not have fallen into a demagogy at this time, but it is true that in our democracy there is a lot of demagogy. A lot is said and little is done, and when someone does something (some of those who rule) he is criticized for it.

The Greek philosopher Plato said that it is very easy for democracy to derive towards a demagogy, practically as easy as monarchy derives towards a tyranny. To avoid the deformations of the forms of government, he proposed a new form based on the education and training of the leaders, seeking to create a political class whose work and purpose in life was "to command" and for which they had been prepared for decades.

How did the land ordinance of 1785 raise money for americas national war debt?

hram777 [196]

The Land Ordinance of 1785 was adopted by the United States Congress of the Confederation on May 20, 1785. It set up a standardized system whereby settlers could purchase title to farmland in the undeveloped west. Congress at the time did not have the power to raise revenue by direct taxation, so land sales provided an important revenue stream. The Ordinance set up a survey system that eventually covered over three-fourths of the area of the continental United States.[1]

The earlier Ordinance of 1784 was a resolution written by Thomas Jefferson (delegate from Virginia) calling for Congress to take action. The land west of the Appalachian Mountains, north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River was to be divided into ten separate states.[2] However, the 1784 resolution did not define the mechanism by which the land would become states, or how the territories would be governed or settled before they became states. The Ordinance of 1785 put the 1784 resolution in operation by providing a mechanism for selling and settling the land,[3] while the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 addressed political needs.

The 1785 ordinance laid the foundations of land policy until passage of the Homestead Act in 1862. The Land Ordinance established the basis for the Public Land Survey System. The initial surveying was performed by Thomas Hutchins. After he died in 1789, responsibility for surveying was transferred to the Surveyor General. Land was to be systematically surveyed into square townships, six miles (9.656 km) on a side. Each of these townships were sub-divided into thirty-six sections of one square mile (2.59 km²) or 640 acres. These sections could then be further subdivided for re-sale by settlers and land speculators.[4]

The ordinance was also significant for establishing a mechanism for funding public education. Section 16 in each township was reserved for the maintenance of public schools. Many schools today are still located in section sixteen of their respective townships<span>[citation needed]</span>, although a great many of the school sections were sold to raise money for public education. In later States, section 36 of each township was also designated as a "school section".[5][6][7]

The Point of Beginning for the 1785 survey was where Ohio (as the easternmost part of the Northwest Territory), Pennsylvania and Virginia (now West Virginia) met, on the north shore of the Ohio River near East Liverpool, Ohio. There is a historical marker just north of the site, at the state line where Ohio State Route 39 becomes Pennsylvania Route 68.
