==History==
===Origins===
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,
===Second set of reforms===
In 561 BC, the nascent democracy was overthrown by the Peisistratos but was reinstated after the expulsion of his son, Hippias, in 510. Cleisthenes issued reforms in 508 and 507 BC that undermined the domination of the aristocratic families and connected every Athenian to the city's rule. Cleisthenes formally identified free inhabitants of Attica as citizens of Athens, which gave them power and a role in a sense of country unity. He did this by making the tribes politically irrelevant and instituting ten new tribes, each made up of about three trittyes, each consisting of several demes. Every male citizen over 18 had to be registered in his deme.
