  • 431

    431 to 404 BCE: The Greek city-state are weakened through competition with one another and heavy taxes during the Pelopnnesian Wars.

    505 BCE: Cleisthenes establishes the first democratic constitution (a set of laws to define and limit the government's power). Free speech and political involvement is extended to all Greek citizens.

    I feel that this statement is important because without laws, the city would fall apart. Laws are part of what help us learn what's right and wrong. Free speech is also a right that we enjoy and let's us speak our mind and let's us have an opinion.
