  2. I chose that Percicles is important in many ways.He was the leader in the war.Which he made more fairness for people.He was also important because he did the most things.Also he brought the demotaric to the highest classical greece.Which made it easier to make things fair.These are how is the most fair.

  3. Cleisthenesis the most most influential person in demcracy. He provided the Athens righteousness. What that means is that,his laws weren't so harsh to people & he let others have their own fairness. Also, Cleisthensis Was the fist giver to really set the foundation of democracy. That was very meaningful because other rulers/kings had laws but they were unfair & they were very scary. Cleisthensis was loyal. Cleisthensis was lawful & was the greatest ruler in Greece.

  4. The greatest Greek statesman in my opinion is Pericles becuase he was a very persuavesive leader.He was the first to be picked as a general.He put more people in the war so they can fight with others and defeat.By fighting they also fighted to make themselves win.Pericles is a effictive leader In Greek.

  5. Out of the four Greek statesment the one that has been the most influential to the development of democracy is Solon.Solon is very important to the Greeks in many ways.One of the way was because he was known for repealing the most of the laws of draco.He was also important because he changed the law, so poor people couldnt be sold into slavery.That was very hurtful for the ones you didnt obey the laws.They would even get killed if it was so bad.Finally he started an assembly that any citizen could come to vote on important quiestion.This is why Solon has been the most influential to the development of democracy.

  7. There are three important reason why solon was important and powerful.One way that he is important is he made a new set of law that were less harsh than Draco.Another reason is that he will reform the goverment.I would like to add that was a law giver .this is what i think on my opinion.

  8. The greatest statesman that contributed in democracy was Pericles. He had made democracy better. He did that by having everyone vote for who they want. Therefore, people were comfortable in choosing who they thought would be good. Pericles had developed a good democracy. He was a briliant leader to the Athens. He had encouraged the Athenians to take pride of their city. As one can see, Pericles was the best statesman in developing democracy.

  9. I think the most important greek states manis Cleisthenes.in 570-565BC his distinction thruogh war againist the Megarians.Then 5 years later he seized power and became a tyrant for 33 years .Finally in those 33 years he had rich and wealthy enemies called the Aristocats. So he got mad and went into in541BC and deafeated them. This is how Cleithenies is a important part in ancient greece.

  10. So fars the most important greek statement since i have studied is solon for many reasons. First after dracos harsh laws solon got or had an advantage because his parent were wealth and had a high position in democracy. This influenced solon also to learn and study about democracy. When solon ran for governer he won after he was reelected for about 30 years. After all that he should be known as the greatest demoratic

  11. Cleisthenes is the most important greek statesman.He is because he overthrew other aristocrats.Also, he gave power to the poor.He allowed all people to vote, which helped create the first sense of democracy.Assemblies were also held, too.They were held to help Cleisthenes.These are the qualities that make him a great statesman.

  12. I believe that solon has been the greatest Greek statesmen. He is because he did a great change to the greek government. The first laws were Draco's his were barbaric and super strict. He would force his laws and if anyone broke them they would die.Solon has a bit of influence since he appeared to be a politician.So solon saved the greeks by making a new set of laws. They weren't as harsh as Draco's.This is how solon contributed the most to the democracy of Greece.

  13. The most important Greek statesman was Solon.He was important because he freed as many athenians as he could.In addition he was a Tyrant for as much as 33 years.This made him become a great leader and king.Solon was a cofident leader.He was a cofident leader because he wanted to reform a goverment.Thats why Solon was a great leader.

  14. I predict that Cleisthenes is the most inportant because he was a law giver.Also hes inpotant because he established the concept of the popular vote.Also he is inportant because he gave more structures.This is my evidence why he is the most inportant. KEITH DURAN :D

  15. In my opinion Solon is the the best statesmen.The reason for this is because right after Draco,which is another statesmen made unfair laws solon came into democracy making less harsh laws.After draco left life was easier for the greeks with the new laws.Also solon made laws that cancelled debts and madelaws so slaves would not be sold.

  17. There have been many great Greek statesman. Many have accomplished many things, but I believe that Cleisthenes contributed the most to democracy. Clesithenes gained power in Athens around 500 BC. Cleisthenes had power and wealth but did not want aristocracy as the form of government. He thyen decided to get rid of aristocracy completely instead of having the risk of it taking over again. He then decided to add a new form of government,democracy. This is why I believe that Cleiethenes contributed most to democracy.

  18. In my opinion Solon is the greatest statesmen in Greece.One reason is that he was called upon the Oligarchy.Therefore he had power and wealth.Another reason is that he was known for repealing most of Draco's laws.That made him against Draco.Last reason is that he enjoyed a universal reputation for wisdom and uprightness.That was the cause of the oligarchy to call him upon.The greatest statesmen in Greece is Solon. -Apolinar Hernandez Princeton

  19. I think pericles is a important greek statesman.For example Pericles engouarge the people of Athens to introduce democracy into other parts of Greece.He also encouraged the Athenians to take pride in their city.he believed participating in government was just as important as defending Athens in war.these are some reasons explaining why I THINK Pericles is vital.

  25. There were a lot of Greek leaders that contributed to the development of democracy.Although I believe Pericles was the the most vital statesman that gave the most important contributions to democracy. The most important contribution of Pericles was he encouraged people to introduce democracy in other parts of Greece. This is crucial because it gave other parts of Greece and the world to have this form of goverment. The second most vital is he encouraged democracy. This is important because not only does he allow it but he encouraged it by paying citizens to vote. The least most crucial is he allowed participation in goverment. This is important because he kept democracy going . These are the reasons why Pericles is the most important contributer to the develpoment of democracy.

  26. In my opinion Cleisthenes was the Greeks statesmen that contributed the most to Athenian democracy.He did many things that helped the society.He started out first as ab aristocrat.Then he changed some rules for Athenian government.Cleisthenes let everybody participate in government to give their own opinion.When they participated they were called citizen.Therfore,Cleisthenes was known as the "The father of Democracy".

  28. In my opinion I think Cleisthenes contributed the most to democracy because of many reasons. First of all he was the first one to come with this form of goverment. Second he made it so every citizen was able to participate in the assembly that created city laws. He also was the one who overthrew the aristocracy because much of Athenian goverment was dominated by the decisions of the rich. That is why I think Cleisthenes contributed the most to democracy.

  29. In Greece there were many leaders like Solon, Cleisthenes, and Pericles just to name a few. Out of the three I believe that Solon is three most important. On fact that supports my belief is that he frees slaves from the many things they faced. By freeing the slaves there was a more accurate vote in democracy. The last fact that supports my opinion is that Solon changed Draco's laws so they were less harsh to the people of Greece. That is my belief and the facts to support my belief.

  32. The Greek statesman that has the most influence on the development of democracy is Pericles. He encouraged people to take part in their government and take pride of their city. Pericles was the leader and general of Athens so he was powerful enough to make democracy more advanced. He paid people to vote and even created a council to make the most toughest decisions. I think that Pericles influenced Athenian democracy the most because of the act he did in allowing the citizens to vote and participate in their government by discusing laws and other issues.

  33. In Greece there was a lot of greek statesman that man a difference in democracy and life. In my opinion Cleisethenes is the most important of them all. Cleisthenes was the first one to create democracy. That is both important and very impressive beacuse that means that he had the guts to beyond what everyboby else in wealth said. Even though he was an aristrocat and he was very wealthy he stood up for the people that werent being treated fairly and that didnt have a say in the decisions made in a civilization. Although Solon repeled Draco's unfair laws, Cleithenes was the very first law giver to support democracy. In conclusion Cleisthenes was the most important staesman in Greek history.

  34. To me Pericles is the most important Greek Statsman. This is because he made the most importanet contributions to democracy. The contributions he made were saying the funeral orielion. Secondly he opened Athenian democracy to any ordinary citizen. The final and most important reason is because he encouraged citizens to introduce democracy in other parts of Greece. What this means is that he wanted people to spread the word about democracy. That is how he was the most important Greek Statesman.

  35. I think that Solon has contributed in democracy. He changed the law so poor people wouldn't be sold in slavery. He also changed the law to make it illegal for parents to abuse thier children. Another reason that he changed the law is because so that people couldn't be killed except crime and murder. This is why I think Solon has contributed in democarcy.

  36. I think Solon is the most important statesman out of all others. The reason why Solon was an important statesman because he made a lot of legal laws to make it illegal to sell poor people to slavery. Another example, is that Solon made a law for parents not to abuse thier children or they will be sent to the dungeon. Without these laws,the whole world would be in a serious crisis to survive life. this is why Solon was an important statesman because we all would not suffer any other violence uses. Like murders,assasins,etc. That is why Solon was an important man to any civilization.

  37. I believe that it was Pericles because did many things that other leaders didnt do. Pericles opened democracy to ordinary citizens. He was the first elected general. Last but not least is that he gave a public speech to honor Athenians.
    I also believe that it is Cleisthenes because he aslos did things for his people. He was the father of Athenian democracy. He was credited for reforming the consitution of ancient Athens. He is responsible for over throwing Hippa.

  38. I believe that Cleisthenes has contributed the most to democracy.He has contributed the most because, first of all, he started democracy. What he did was that he overthrew aristocracy. That was an important factor because he was an aristocrat. He overthrew aristocracy because he believed not only a small group should lead. He believed that everyone had a right to vote except for slaves,woman,and children. Only men were allowed to vote. That is why I believe Cleisthenes contributed most to democracy.

  43. I agree with Laura Flores but not so much. Cleisthenes was very powerful but Pericles was way more successful. Pericles provided people strength & to stand up for themselves. Cleisthenes Didn't do that. Also, Pericles PAID people that work or who were on duty. Laura you have parts good but you should check out Pericles. (:

    I disagree w/ you. I believe that Cliesthenes was the most important because he was the most contributive. He was the most important because he over though the aristcracy for good. He did that because he didn't believe that was fiar. So he set up a better one. That was democracy. that is why i believe Clesthenes cotributed the most.

  66. I agree with Michal Castro. Solon was a great leader,compared to Draco. Draco was a crazy harsh man. All his laws were that if you did somthing bad, you would most likly die. Solon was all about peace and forgivness. Draco was all about killing and blood. Solon liked to give second chances to the people. This is why I agree with hhis coice of Solon Eddie Lopez Princeton

  67. I think that the Greek stateman that contirbuted the most to democracy was Solon. I think it is Solon because he changed Draco's harsh rules. It was important to change Draco's rules because his punishment was always death. That was really unfair to the Athenians. This was really important because it came to a point where people didn't feel free. This is why I think that Solon contributed most to democracy.

  72. Cleisthenes was the greatest Greek statesman. This is because without Cleisthenes there wouldn't be any appearance of democracy. Democracy was an important Greek statesman because he also gave power to the poor and a right to vote. This is important to give to a civilization. there would be an equal descision about democracy. This why Cleisthenes was the best Greek statesman.

  74. In my opinion Solon was a great leader. He was a great leader because of the actions he has done. The most important action he has done was change the laws of Draco. This was the most important because if the laws weren't changed everyone in Greece would be in misery. If you did one little thing wrong, you could be sent to death. Another reason why Solon was a great leader was because he didn't allow people to sell their own people into slavery. This made him great becaus eit showed that he cared about his people. Overall Solon was a great leader.

  75. the greatest greek state person is Pericles. Pericles encouraged the pepole to take pride in the city so they got encouragement. Thats not all he also encouraged them to defend in war for thay can get protected in a war. Last he also he let pepole particapate in government issues when normally they wouldnt because they were poor with no power. Thats why pericles is the best states pepole. cesar rodriguez stanford

  76. Solon is the person who contributed democracy. I say this because he changed the law so that poor people could not be sold into slavery. I also say because he cancled debts. He also decided that judes would be chosen thoroug a lottery. This is why I say Solon contributed to democracy.

  77. The greatest Greek stateman was Perlicles because he would influence his people to have pride tgo their culture. Compared to all the men he weas a vcery great man. Draco was very harsh. Solon completely changesd the law and was way too easy on the people. Clethenies was unfair to become an Arisocrat. Perlicles was a famous Greek general and a great beliver in democracy. He was the best stateman in Greece.

  80. Cleisthenes is the greatest Greek statesman. He is the greatest one because he created the worlds first democracy. Without him creating that we wouldn't have freedom and the right to vote for what we want. To create the democracy he overthrew an oligarchy and took power. He did that because he was tired of aristocrats ruling over Athens. That is why Cleisthenes is the greatest Greek statesman.

  87. The most important states man is Solon. The reason is because he is the one who started using democracy. This is important because it makes people worth something and gives people the rights they deserve. Another reaso why Solon is the most important states man is because he made the laws fair. The way he did that is because before he a harsh law was that if you were poor than you were sold into slavery. This is why Solon is the most important states man.

For example, he pay the people that work in the government money to convince the peole. Aother reason is that Athenians show state of fairs in demcracy.

  93. I predict that solon was a great statesman. Because I chose this is because He freed the slaves, this is very important because people have the right to be free. He is also a good statesman because he changed the government, by letting the poor vote for what they want. He also made laws that were good enough for people to understand, not like Draco’s, it’s not too harsh. Another way he was a good statesman was he made people be a citizens. That why I think Solon was a good statesman.

  106. There have been very important Greek statesmen but one has more significance. I believe Cleisthenes has been the Greek statesman that has contributed the most to Greek democracy. My first reason is that he is named as the father of democracy. This shows that he is credited with being the maker of democracy. He gained power at about 500 B.C. and was born to an aristocratic family. When he had power he didn’t want to have the Aristocrats to keep ruling. Due to this reason he wanted to make a whole new system to ruling though this was risky he wanted Athenians to have power so he created democracy. This way everyone had the power to vote and propose new laws. This form of democracy was kept until they were taken over by another civilization and democracy was lost almost forever. This is why Cleisthenes was been the Greek statesmen who has contributed the most to democracy.

So that is why Cleisthenes was the most important of all the statesmen.

  108. Cleisthenes contributed the most to democracy. He was born to an aristocrat family. Aristocrat means a rich or wealthy person. After that Cleisthenes invented the idea of democracy. Democracy means the rule of “the people”. Cleisthenes fought many Persian wars to keep democracy. This was important because it shows how he believed democracy was the right thing to do so he wanted to protect it. Due to these reasons, Cleisthenes contributed the most to democracy.

  164. They did physical education to be healthy. They also did writing so they could communicate with one another. Another thing they would need to communicate is reading. They also needed reading so they can read the laws & follow them.they needed to learn alot of stuff to be great leaders.

  166. The arts of Athens were important because they showed and made the secity more intresting.When they play sports,music,art and other talents these are arts of athenian culture.Also these talents are more important than you think, someone had to come up with them.Also today how sports are very important to our lives.They provide us to be strong and healthy.Most people find these enertaining on tv or just playing.Music and art have their importance to the are intresting to our seocity.Thats what i think of how the arts are important to seocitys.

  167. I agree with the people who who chose Perciles because he was Athens greatest leader.I think that Pericles was the greatest Greek statesmen hero because he gave rights and had a good seocity.When he led everthing was nice,calm,and peaceful.Also that when he died the Peleponision war came and everything started getting bad,and Athens was in the war zone.Then everything started changing, and everyone was against Athens.Ibet they wish Perciles was not dead.They kept relectedhim over and over.Thants who I think who is Athens greatest leader
