Athens was one of the greatest examples of city-states in Ancient Greece. It established the foundations of direct democracy based on certain restrictions to be able to vote and have decision-making power. In order to vote for legislation a person had to be a male citizen, adult, not submissive or a woman, foreigners were also excluded from participation. Related to Athens' social structure, male citizens had the greatest advantages regarding political and social rights, property ownership, participation, etc.
Those who belong to the aristocracy through ownership of lands or long ago inheritance are the ones in control of the political power. Then, a middle class of land-owners whose wealth was quite limited and business men, such as merchants, traders who were closely watched by the Athenian citizens who had some limited rights depending if they could ascend in Athenian society. Below, in the social structure there's women, children and teens, laborers, slaves and foreigners.

King William's War demonstrated to the American colonists the value and importance of English military protection from hostile neghbors.
Explanation:
King William's War, named after the English King William III of Orange, was the first of the four so-called French and Indian wars in North America. The fighting broke out after the start of the Nine Years' War between the Kingdom of France and the Great Alliance in 1689. In New England, the English tried in vain to conquer Quebec, while the French attacked the coastal areas occupied by England. The war ended with the Peace of Rijswijk in 1697, but only five years later the war of Queen Anna broke out.
This conflict showed to the American colonists the importance of the English military presence in the colonies, due to the fragility that these had in front of the military power of the French of New France and the Native Americans. Therefore, from this war until the French and Indian War, the British presence in America was seen as necessary and supported by many American settlers.
