Studies of Political Systems. Athenian Democracy in 5th Century BCE
Kay Bishop
This is a 67 page booklet (or CD) written to address the Queensland Studies Authority's Senior Ancient History Syllabus. It explores the background to the growth of Athenian Democracy through the reforms of Solon and Cleisthenes and then examines the way the democratic system worked in Athens in the 5th century BCE. It also explores the question of how democratic the system really was. There is a wide range of primary source material with questions for students to work through and extensive text material to enhance student learning. It is a 'remake' of the earlier publication on Athenian Democracy with a much more extensive section on the strengths and weakness of sources and more textual background information. The CD has hyperlinks to take students easily from the Contents page to each chapter and there are hyperlinks to a glossary and to maps.
