Apparently they had sent slaves to get more people to vote and if a citizen had a red mark on that a slave put would have to vote. The assembly was large and was difficult to make decisions. The picked citizens to serve a smaller council they decided what they would discuss. It made things run smoother.]]> 2018-11-30 16:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/coraima_sanchez/7vi9tr67p961/wish/309849872 coraima_sanchez https://padlet.com/coraima_sanchez/7vi9tr67p961/wish/309852413 Athenians remained a democracy for 170 years they reached their height because of a new leader named Pericles.

Even after being overthrown they still followed the democracy with very limited powers. The Macedonian king ruled like a dictator, couldn't do anything without his approval. The assembly still met but they didn't want to upset the king and couldn't change their laws without him. They soon lost the limited democracy. A new king took over and ended The Athenian democracy forever.]]> 2018-11-30 16:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/coraima_sanchez/7vi9tr67p961/wish/309854520
