1. Direct Democracy: It is the first name given to the Athenian democracy. It was called as such because decisions regarding political matters were handled and addressed to right on the spot by the asembly, boule, and the judges of the law court. Almost all of the citizens (excluding women and slaves) participated in political matters.

2. Asembly: They set the rules and maintain authority within the city-state. It is comprised by all the men in ancient Athens where they voice out their opinions as well as their problems to receive guidance and help from their fellow citizens. All of the men in the asembly have the right to vote and decide for the welfare of the government.

3. Tyrants: Tyrants are power hungry militants who grabbed absolute control by force. A tyrant is an oppressive ruler who is beyond the law or constitution of the place he rules over. One of the most notorious tyrants is Genghis Khan, who would wantonly sexually assault women as well as indiscriminate slaughtering of his foes.

4. Solon: He was chosen as an Athenian statesman with reformation powers. He is celebrated and best remembered for his efforts in creating laws that countered the economic, political, and moral downfall which was experienced by archaic Athens. His attempt failed; however his effort was used as a foundation for the Athenian democracy.

5. Nobles: They are lofty, financially well-to-do citizens who carried much power within the communities. Nobility is granted by the King, and just like monarchy, succession is hereditary. Nobles often have a say in political manners due to their immense wealth as well as their high status in the communities.

(Disclaimer: I spelled asembly with one 's' because was flagging it as an inappropriate word)
