Early Government in Greece

Kings rule

From about 2000 to 800 B.C.E., a monarch, or king, ruled most Greek city-states. In a monarchy, the governing power is in the hands of one individual, usually a king. As a male-dominated society, Greek settlements did not allow queens to govern.

Initially, the people of a Greek city-state chose the kings. When a king died, another leader was selected to replace him. In time, however, kings demanded that, after their death, their power be passed to their children, typically to the oldest son. Consequently, Greek monarchs rose to power through inheritance.

Patricians and Plebeians

Plebeians enjoyed a major victory when patricians agreed to post Rome’s laws on the Twelve Tables. This prevented the patricians from altering the laws on a whim or incorrectly interpreting them.
