Greeks were the first people to begiin the idea of democracy instead of the usual monarchy. so basically it was democracy.
It was neither an empire nor a republic. The first thing to understand is that "Ancient Greece" was not a unified political body (as was the Roman Republic/Empire) but rather a collection of independent city-states that operated under their own forms of government. Athens, for example, had a form of democratic government, while Sparta was under the rule of a king.
1. Athens is defeated in the Peloponnesian War 2. Phillip of Macedon conquers Greece. 3.Greece falls under Roman Control 4.Rome falls to the goths.
"Ancient Greece" was not a kingdom, it was a geographical region made up of several poleis (sing. polis) such as Athens, Sparta, Thebes etc. Each polis had its own forms of government, which evolved over time. Sparta had a bi-monarchy (two kings) and a council of elders; Athens had an oligarchy, then tyrants, then a democracy. During the golden age of Athens, the most famous leader was Pericles. He was a political and military leader, but never a king. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually...

None. Citizens had rights, non-citizens (including all women, children, slaves and aliens) had no rights, but were given some tolerance and privileges according to their usefulness and good behaviour.
because most of Greece is on mountains which made it hard for one ruler to control all of Greece so they each had city-states under different government but they had the same religion and language
