Political Science

The two main characteristics of the Greek world view in the 15th century were thinking in resistance and yearning for differentiations. Democracy in Athens evolved as a result of resistance against tyranny in the 6th century. The tyrants were striped of all political powers after their defeat. All aspects of politics became a matter primarily played only by full citizens of Athens. Democracy was first demonstrated in history, whereby the full citizens of Athens held all political powers and developed a fine tuned mechanism which controlled how powers were exercised in courts and other assemblies.

The Greek constitution, the Hellenic parliament, the Hellenic government, the prime ministers office and the ministry of justice in Greece have been the greatest factors that contribute to the change on the way the society perceive the government. Greek was composed of several city states which were run independent of each other. The principle obtained from the ancient Greek which considered its people as one nation, one people, one religion, one language and culture is another factor that the society borrows from ancient Greek. Tribal differences seemed to play no significant role in Greek politics.

The defense mechanism that was employed to protect the independence of the city states have also contributed to the way people perceive the role of the government. The Greece government had a lot of interest with its cities whether from conquering or original city states. This makes the society to stress the importance of any city to the government requiring the government to show interest in these cities. The society wants the government to be established in a similar manner to that of ancient Greece.

The Greek laws are employed in various aspects of the government in one way or the other. These laws are used by contemporary legislation in many amendments. The court systems of the ancient Greece have been reserved by the modern judicial system in several aspects. The other aspect that has been preserved by the society from the ancient Greece is the education system.
