When we hear that the Council of 500 was chosen "by lot," what this means is that the council was chosen at random. All the candidates would put their names together and it was luck that decided who was going to be in the council. This was probably not a very good idea for the Athenian goverment, as it was likely that the people elected to the council were uneducated or uninterested in government.

Which Reform Movement also dealt with the issue of mental illness?

olga55 [171]

The <u>Temperance Movement </u>is a Reform Movement that dealt with the issue of mental illness.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Temperance Movement was started as a Reform Movement for social cause. This movement aims in opposing the usage of alcoholic beverages. The people who led this movement explained the negative effects of alcohol on people.

Doctor Benjamin Rush published an article "An Inquiry Into the Effects of Ardent Spirits on the Human Mind and Body" in 1784. This article explains that the excessive consumption of alcohol is injurious to physical and psychological health. So the Temperance Movement was organized in U.S to limit the usage of alcoholic beverages.

The temperance movement not only helps in improving the physical health of the person, but also helps in improving the mental health.
