Athenian Democracy (Holden)

I don't think Athenian democracy was fair because, their was one person who ruled over everyone (the Tyrant). Whatever the tyrants said went so they could do anything they wanted. Soon the people of Athens kicked the Tyrants out of Athens forever. It was not fair that people were bought and sold as slaves. There voting was different if they didn't like the person who was on the stand they would roar until the person got down and someone else came. In Athenian democracy woman were not counted as citizens the people thought that women were demonic and possessed by demons they thought that women had to wear a full face vail so that know one would see them. In voting they would have someone called an orator who would run against another orator to see who would get the peoples votes, they would also try to persuade the people to get them on there side. So that is why I think Athenian democracy was not fair.
