As we learn about the 4 types of government in Ancient Greece, we will choose music to listen to based on the ways decisions were made in each government structure.

Monarchy

The earliest form of government in ancient Greece was monarchy, in which one person-such as a king or emperor-had the power to make all of the political decisions.

Those of you sitting on the floor have no power.

at first chosen by people later inherited power passed on to sons kings served as judges, religious leader,

led armies aristocrats: best, most wealthy, land

owners kings were dependent on aristocrats for

counsel/advice aristocrats realized that they were

stronger that the king eventually aristocrats took power leading

to oligarchy MONARCHS LOSE POWER

Reflection on Monarchy:*What are the advantages of a monarchy? What are the disadvantages?

Oligarchy

Oligarchy developed in Greece as an alternative to monarchy. In an oligarchy, a few individuals have the power to make political decisions.

Remember: those of you on the floor have no power.

Oligarchs were the wealthy members of society. Three volunteers.

Oligarchs will select the next song.

army to make them obey eventually, the poor found leaders who

promised to improve their lives backed by the people, the leader took

Oligarchy Reflection:•What are the advantages and disadvantages of an oligarchy?

Tyranny

Discontent with the oligarchy in ancient Greece led to the rise of new leaders, called tyrants.

In a tyranny, one individual seizes power by force and rules single-handedly.
