<span>Certainly not. The United States has never, since its founding, consisted of a small number of citizens, still less of citizens that could practically assemble in one place at one time and debate their actions. A pure democracy in this classical Greek city-state sense was never practical, and was not seriously considered.
 
What the Framers created was a constitutional representative republic. Sovereignty is vested in the people, like a democracy (and unlike a constitutional monarchy), but the people do not rule directly. Instead, they elect representatives, at regular intervals, and these rule in the peoples' stead. Their powers are limited, first, by the fact that they are elected for only short terms, and must be re-elected if they wish to continue in power, and secondly, and much more importantly, by the Constitution itself, which puts express written limits on their powers even between elections.</span>

What elements of life are important to herodotus do
kherson [118]

Also known as the "Father of History". While many men are credited with "shaping" the story, one can be said to have "created" it. Herodotus developed the means by which we in the Western world can know and evaluate history and its most important moments. Born in Halicarnassus, Asia Minor, he played an important role in the revolution against tyrant Lydames. He later moved to Athens, where he began to systematically write down the history of his own time - particularly the wars between Greece and Persia - and the facts that preceded it. Although previous events had already been recorded, Herodotus is considered the "Father of History" because he was the first man to attempt an orderly and objective study of the interrelationships between historical events. Herodotus traveled to Egypt and traveled the Mediterranean, studying the cultures of these regions and recording the facts as faithfully as possible for the time. In theorizing about history, he applied the traditional Greek idea of ​​moderation, or middle ground, that equilibrium is desirable, and excess and imbalance are the recipe for disaster. Because of this theory, the arrogant Xerxes I was inevitably doomed to defeat.

What statement best describes the outcome of the Persian war
kobusy [5.1K]

The statement that best describes the outcome of the Persian Wars is “The Greeks were able to stop a Persian invasion, and the Persian Empire stopped trying to conquer Greece.” The problem that led to the start of the Persian Wars was that Persia wanted to punish Athens for the Lomian revolt.
