How did democracy and other forms of government develop in Greece?

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

it started in 5th Century BCE by Cleisthenes

Explanation:

Cleisthenes Introduced the concept of demokratia. Which can be translated as "People power". It's a concept that he developed as an alternative from a monarchy system which often put one king in an absolute position of power. Many of them ended up becoming tryannical and supress his own people.

To create a fairer society, he proposed a new concept of government, where the people were involved in the creation of laws and government program.

He elected a group of people with a lottery (purely based on luck) in order to act as "jurors", which is basically the representative of the people. The jurors can directly cast out their vote to determine which type of legislations should be created in their community.

What does this illustration tell you about the social hierarchy of Maya culture?

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The Maya Empire, centered in the tropical lowlands of what is now Guatemala, reached the peak of its power and influence around the sixth century A.D.
The Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left behind an astonishing amount of impressive architecture and symbolic artwork.
Most of the great stone cities of the Maya were abandoned by A.D. 900, however, and since the 19th century scholars have debated what might have caused this dramatic decline.
The Classic Maya built many of their temples and palaces in a stepped pyramid shape, decorating them with elaborate reliefs and inscriptions. These structures have earned the Maya their reputation as the great artists of Mesoamerica.
Guided by their religious ritual, the Maya also made significant advances in mathematics and astronomy, including the use of the zero and the development of complex calendar systems like the Calendar Round, based on 365 days, and later, the Long Count Calendar, designed to last over 5,000 years.
Serious exploration of Classic Maya sites began in the 1830s. By the early to mid-20th century, a small portion of their system of hieroglyph writing had been deciphered, and more about their history and culture became known.
Most of what historians know about the Maya comes from what remains of their architecture and art, including stone carvings and inscriptions on their buildings and monuments.
The Maya also made paper from tree bark and wrote in books made from this paper, known as codices; four of these codices are known to have survived.
They are also credited with some of the earliest uses of chocolate and of rubber.
