Pericles
was a leader who lead during the golden are of Athens who believed in
strengthening democracy by giving pay for political power because only wealthy
people could lead because middle class and lower couldn't afford to stay in
that position. A direct democracy is run through the people having direct
control and not going through a representative like in a republic. Few other
city states used this, and it was mainly used in Athens. The Delian league was
a pact that had all the city states come together in resources to build up a
navy and army to defeat the Persians or other invader. Some other the money was
used without the league’s permission to but gold, ivory and marble to make Athens
look better.
Good work, Austin, but you dropped a point by omitting Pericles' three goals. 9/10.
