A democracy is by definition a system of government by the whole population, or at least the eligible population members of a state, who is represented by people whom were elected. But the Greek democracy differs greatly from the basic definition, but shaped the modern definition, in modern days we can see how an up to date democracy affects the military needs, and how the classes are divided by the democracy. But due to the way Greece ran their democracy, we as modern day citizens of this world do not understand how the democracy and the military needs and social classes could possibly coexist in a democracy such as the Greeks had. The Greek democracy is based on many categories, the first being that any “important” roles were male roles only.
