Was corinth greece, a limited or unlimited government? explain.

The word democracy derives from the greek  dēmos  which referred to the entire citizen body and although it is athens which has become associated with the birth of democracy (demokratia) from around 460 bce, other greek states did establish a similar political system, notably,  argos, (briefly)  syracuse,  rhodes, and erythrai. athens is, however, the state we know most about. the assembly of athens met at least once a month, perhaps two or three times, on the pnyx hill in a dedicated space which could accommodate 6000 citizens. any male citizen 18 years or over could speak (at least in theory) and vote in the assembly, usually with a simple show of hands. attendance was even paid for in certain periods which was a measure to encourage citizens who lived far away and couldn’t afford the time-off to attend. citizens probably accounted for 10-20% of the  polis  population, and of these it has been estimated that only 3,000 or so people actively participated in politics. of this group, perhaps as few as 100 citizens - the wealthiest, most influential, and the best speakers - dominated the political arena both in front of the assembly and behind the scenes in private conspiratorial political meetings (xynomosiai) and groups (hetaireiai). critics of democracy, such as thucydides and aristophanes, also pointed out that the  dēmos  could be too easily swayed by a good orator or popular leaders (the demagogues) and get carried away with their emotions. perhaps the most famous bad decision from the  athenian democracy  was the death sentence given to the philosopher  socrates  in 399 bce.           hope this
