'''Athenian Democracy '''is a [[File:Nonquadrant.png]] [[Category:Non-Quadrant|Non-Quadrant]] ideology that believes that the Athenian Democracy system (explained in [[Athenian Democracy#Foundations|foundations]]) should be implemented.

Athens wasn't the only city to implement the system as Aristotle pointed out other cities have as well but Athens is the only one with good historical records so we will focus on them. Before the first attempt at democracy, Athens was ruled by a series of archons or chief magistrates, and the Areopagus, made up of ex-archons. The members of these were generally aristocrats. In 621 BC, Draco replaced oral law with a written code to be enforced only by a court of law. In 594 BC, [[File:Solon.png]] Solon, premier archon at the time, issued reforms that defined citizenship in a way that gave each free resident of Attica a political function: Athenian citizens had the right to participate in meetings. By granting the originally aristocratic role to every free citizen of Athens who owned property, [[File:Solon.png]] Solon reshaped the system of the city-state. Under these reforms, the ''boule'' (a council of 400 members, with 100 citizens from each of Athens's four tribes) ran daily affairs and set the political agenda. The Areopagus, which formerly took on this role, remained but instead carried on the role of "guardianship of the laws". Another major contribution to democracy was Solon's setting up of an Ecclesia, which was open to all the male citizens.
