1. Direct Democracy: It is the first name given to the Athenian democracy. It was called as such because decisions regarding political matters were handled and addressed to right on the spot by the asembly, boule, and the judges of the law court. Almost all of the citizens (excluding women and slaves) participated in political matters.

2. Asembly: They set the rules and maintain authority within the city-state. It is comprised by all the men in ancient Athens where they voice out their opinions as well as their problems to receive guidance and help from their fellow citizens. All of the men in the asembly have the right to vote and decide for the welfare of the government.

3. Tyrants: Tyrants are power hungry militants who grabbed absolute control by force. A tyrant is an oppressive ruler who is beyond the law or constitution of the place he rules over. One of the most notorious tyrants is Genghis Khan, who would wantonly sexually assault women as well as indiscriminate slaughtering of his foes.

4. Solon: He was chosen as an Athenian statesman with reformation powers. He is celebrated and best remembered for his efforts in creating laws that countered the economic, political, and moral downfall which was experienced by archaic Athens. His attempt failed; however his effort was used as a foundation for the Athenian democracy.

5. Nobles: They are lofty, financially well-to-do citizens who carried much power within the communities. Nobility is granted by the King, and just like monarchy, succession is hereditary. Nobles often have a say in political manners due to their immense wealth as well as their high status in the communities.

Answer from: Quest

the articles of confederation only set up the continental congress at the federal level. there were no executive or judicial branches except within the states. the states were allowed to keep every right that was not specifically given to congress. the bonding of the states was through a 'firm league of friendship' that best served as a defense agreement against invasion. states were not allowed to use taxes as a way to discourage treaties, and states were extremely limited in their dealings with foreign nations.

not many historians today talk about the strengths of the articles of confederation, likely because of how unpopular the document quickly became. the articles did set the legislative body, congress, as the highest power in the nation because of the fear of monarchy. congress had the sole power to declare war, assign treaties, entertain foreign relations, and operate post offices. disputes between states and territorial issues were to be brought to congress. the document also stipulated that canada was allowed to enter the union if they desired.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
