Answer:
Greece is widely considered to be the cradle of Western culture[1] and democracy. Modern democracies owe a debt to Greek beliefs in government by the people, trial by jury, and equality under the law. ... In their pursuit of order and proportion, the Greeks created an ideal of beauty that strongly influenced Western art.
Explanation:
One of the main qualities for Greeks was justice, but then
again this had a much wider meaning than it does in English. It meant also
treating people justly and justifiably. In Greco-Roman law the defendant had
the right to guard himself, although deprived of money he was left defending
himself. The Greek city states could be oligarchies or a division of the army,
or a restricted democracy. Rome started as a kingdom and then turn into a
republic – in the first place, aristocratic only but then merchants got voted,
and after much widespread anxiety the people were embodied by the Tribune. Furthermore,
any Roman citizen could vote, a major concern at that period.
