Athenian democracy developed around the 6th century BC in the Greek city-state of Athens. Solon (in 594 BC), Cleisthenes (in 508–07 BC), and Ephialtes (in 462 BC) contributed to the development of Athenian democracy.

What are their contributions?

  • Born in 638BC, Solon was a wise statesman and law maker and responsible for a number of important political reforms.
  • Cleisthenes divided the citizens of the city into ten ’tribes’ and each tribe could elect 50 men to sit on the new ‘Council of 500’.
  • Pericles believed in democracy and under his rule, the appointments were made using lots, to ensure fairness. Pericles wanted to unite Greece, but unfortunately Sparta -which was a rival city-state- did not and the Peloponnesian War began.

How does the United States practice these democratic ideas?

  1. The United States practice legislative arm of government and therefore the country has law makers.
  2. The United States also have different states and are 50 in number.
  3. America also follows thorough screening through the legislative arm for appointment. Again, America is also a country where unity is fought for before the establishment of the United States.

Therefore, the correct answers are as given above.
