Which of the following statements about the olmec is correct?
they played a game with a rubber ball which was also important to maya and aztec culture.
they carved huge monumental heads which may represent their kings.
towards the end of olmec civilization, they developed a writing system which influenced the scripts of later mesoamerican cultures.
all of the answers are correct.

The best answer is that they carved huge monumental heads which may  represent their kings.

This is one characteristic unique to the Olmec  people. They build stone  heads of colossal size that were nearly 3 meters high and 8 ton in weight.

The stones were carved in Basalt and all of them display unique facial features such that they can be  considered to be  portraits of their rulers

The stone from which they were carved was in some  cases transported 80 km from source to the capital.

Olmec culture also included ball games and drinking  of chocolate . These practices were passed on to other civilization that later arose.

thomas jefferson is the answer

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
