Today in class we moved on to lesson two on our unit on ancient Greece. This lesson is about the Greek city-states. This lesson had a lot of definitions. A Polis is a city state, it is the fundamental unit of politics. An Acropolis is a place where Greeks come to discuss politics. The Greek Polis' came in four forms monarchy, aristocracy, oligarchy, democracy. A monarchy is a form where it is ruled by one king. An aristocracy is a form where a few wealthy land owner's ruled. A oligarchy is where a few people rule who overthrew the government using the military. A democracy is where the people vote on the laws.
Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.
