Systems of government in Ancie
Ancient Greece was on of the first ever cultures (that is known today) to develop a rand of different systems of government. These systems, although most have been dramatically changed, are still used today. These government forms lasted throughout the Ancient Greek times- from 3000BC onwards to 300BC. The four most important types of government in Ancient Greece were Monarchy, Oligarchy, Democracy and Tyranny.
Problems did arise through this form of government. ms of governments to be developed by the ancient Greeks. Oligarchy was the next form of government developed by the ancient Greeks. As opposed to Monarchy, the rule was not passed down through birth, but rather, the rulers, or the "oligarch's" were drawn from the noble classes or they were some of the wealthiest citizens in Greece. Also, the poor were treated very badly and they stayed poor, while the rich people got richer. Because the rule was passed down through birth, who was to know if the next ruler would become a Tyrant? And many of the rulers did. Quality of work went down as well, because people were getting hired, not because they were good at he job, but because they were rich/commendable. Oligarchy means "rule by a few"- and that is how some of the problems arose- because each of the rulers saw themselves as most elite, they couldn't decide between themselves and they fought amongst themselves. In this type of government, rule was passed down through the ruling family, and when a child was born, who would one day become the potential and sole ruler of the Greece, they were raised from birth to do so. The citizens couldn't really do much to change the ruler if he was- unless they somehow overpowered him.
