The 3/5ths compromise was like this

Voting rights I believe were restricted in that only one party the Socialist party was allowed. Some socialist countries at least where power was obtained by revolution in the world, like the Soviet Union or in Cuba had/have a one party system but still have democratic votes for various things, whereas more recently, socialist governments have come to power through the ballot box in countries like Venezuela or Bolivia.
The Greek settlements were located in strategic trading points throughout the Mediterranean where trade was possible. Most of the outside influence was through trade, war, and conquest
