The Greeks shared a language and culture, but each polis had a different government. In 509 BC, Athens created a new set of rules that gave power to the people. The Greeks called this government "Democracy". Members of the Council of 500 were chosen by lot.

Explanation:

Democracy began in Ancient Greece, specifically in Athens, in the sixth century BC. It had a relatively long life in comparison with the current liberal democracies, since we can speak of the democratic era in Athens since the reforms of Cleisthenes around 508 BC until the suppression of the democratic institutions because of the Macedonian hegemony in 322 BC.

Athens was one of the first cities to establish democracy. Other Greek cities also established democracies, but not all followed the Athenian model and, of course, none was as powerful or as stable (or well documented) as Athens. It remains a unique and intriguing experiment in direct democracy, where people did not elect representatives to vote on their behalf, but instead developed legislation and exercised executive power in a personal way. However, participation was far from universal, but among those who participated hardly influenced economic power, and the number of people involved was enormous. In addition, the opinions of the voters were notably influenced by the political satires performed by the comic poets in the theaters.
