the government of ancient greece

Today in honors western civ we went over the newly founded democracy of Greece.  this democracy was founded when Clithenese came into power because the common people ostracized Isagoris.  then Clithenes was installed as the ruler of Greece.  All of this occurred in 508 bc.  Then Clithenes realized that there was a lot of potential contained in the middle class.  he then began a direct democracy, but it was only open to Athenian born males.  in order to cast a vote in ancient Greece, there would be a person that would present their case in the agora.  then there would be an ern and each person would be distributed a black or a white stone, black for n and white for yes. with the added input of the people of Greece, the government could grow in order to compensate for any problems that the people faced.  Also, the government was ruled by the people, hopefully appeasing more people.  I will go over the PowerPoint and be ready for tomorrow.
