How might Athenian democracy be considered the root of modern democratic governments?

1 answer:

8 0

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

When American settlers first arrived in Texas in 1821,

yan [13]

Answer:

Texas history is complicated. After Spain acquired Louisiana, Americans were allowed to settle around St. Louis and later be considered for land grants in the northern province area called Texas. As early as 1803, Americans settled there. After the Mexican Revolution of 1824, the Mexican government needed settlers to protect it from foreign invasion, and they offered liberal land grants to anyone who would become citizens, accept the Catholic faith, and settle there.
