![]() If I were to make and name a city-state the name would be Houstopolis. The government that I would establish in my city-state would be a democracy. I would have decided to be a democracy because other people can have good ideas of how to run a government and some do not. It is a good idea to have all of those ideas so you can contrast them and make the best decisions for your city-state. I believe my city-state could be a successful one under a democracy.

Athens democracy changed the way our government is run today because we almost follow that same laws and the way the ruled as we do today. Now we have a president but also has other advisers, an tons of people in the government to help with running our nation. |
Greek democracy was a radical departure from a monarchy because instead of the people listening to one person the people had a say in what they wanted. Most people liked this way of ruling because they all could have a say of what they wanted. Some city-states switched to this way of ruling but some did not. This was for sure a radical departure because at this time in history it was pretty absurd because almost all of this city-states at this time either had a monarchy, Oligarchy, or tyranny.
