| | Athenian democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The greatest and longest-lasting democratic leader was Pericles; after his death, Athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolution towards the end of the Peloponnesian War. | | | Even with respect to slavery the new citizen law of 450 BC may have had effect: it is speculated that originally Athenian fathers had been able to register for citizenship offspring had with slave women (Hansen 1987:53). | | | Unlike a parliament, the assembly's 'members' were not elected, but attended by right when and if they chose. |

| | This order prompted Elmer Rice's resignation as the first director of the New York City FTP Unit {9}, though it did not usher in any period of censorship by executive order. | | | Though the New Deal failed to accomplish the fundamental structural changes FDR's words suggest, his administration entered its second phase in 1935 with a renewed commitment to long-range and sweeping reform of American institutions, emphasizing social justice. | | | As the '30s drew on, the WPA became the most frequent target of New Deal critics in Congress and the press. |
