Today in class we finished our projects about Greece.  I did my part of the intro last night go government and the rest of them finished there part in class.  This is what I wrote... Ancient Greece was made up of many city-states and each had their own governments.  They started out having monarchies, than oligarchies and then democracies.  The monarchy was ruled by a king and sometimes he was called a tyrant.  The oligarchy was when the government was ran by a small group of people.  The democracy was ruled by people and they all had a say.  It was in Athens that democracy was first used as a primary form of government. Greece has had many leaders throughout the years with differing ways to govern. The Greek rulers have varied from cruel tyrants, and to those who want the government to work in favor of the citizens.
