This is a type of rule in which the power has been inherited by a person. The one
with the power is sovereign in this form of rule.
Monarchies in the states of macedonia and epeiros were the most common.
Through 800 bc, the Greek monarchies had come to an abrupt end, and aristocrats
had taken their place.
ARISTOCRACY
In ancient Greece, aristocrat is the influential people who owned much of the land in
ancient Greek cities. They had absolute power in city political affairs, leaving
common ancient Greek citizens without any influence in political affairs.
TYRANNY
Tyrants were those who acquired power in an illegal manner. They were
administrators who were very unkind and unpleasant. Any of Greece’s historic cities
had seen tyranny of some kind.
OLIGARCHY
In an oligarchical form of government, government power is controlled by a small
group of people. There are the city's most educated and wealthiest citizens. In
ancient Greek cities, the slave population was larger than the wealthiest and more
educated. Politicians and the rich regulated the political affairs of ancient Greek
cities in a small group of people.
DEMOCRACY
Democracy is a system of government in which the whole population is represented
by elected representatives. The Greek followed direct democracy, in which the
people directly elected representatives for the country's welfare.
Except democracy, there were different forms of government structure in ancient
Greek cities, each with its own problems.
Both ohers is for the sake of satisfying the whims and fancies of a certain group of
people.
Democracy emerged from the harsh treatment of people by monarchy, aristocracy,
tyranny, and oligarchy.
