Today in class we took our first test on the semester. The test had covered mainly Greece. It also covered other islands and surrounding seas and such. We learned things about Sparta and Athens, Macedonia, who were leaders of Greece and what they did to help Greece advance, and we also learned about their government progression from being first made up of all rich men, to then having all of the citizens play a role in the government voting and making laws, this called a democracy. We also use a democracy in America, it helps us come to a fair conclusion voted on by the citizens of the U.S. So Greece pretty much made a political idea that helped shape Americas political system by giving them the idea of democracy.
