hes sick

In western civ, mr schick is feeling horrible. These are the notes that I took.
By 750 B.C., the city state, or polis, was the fundamental political unit in Ancient Greece. Most city states controlled between 50 and 500 acres of territory. City states' governments were either a monarchy, aristocracy, or an oligarchy. In later times, tyrants began to take over. Even more later in time, Athenian reformers moved toward democracy, rule by the people. In Athens, citizens participated directly in political decision making.

Today in human geography class with Mr. Schick we learned about the historic events in Greece when Isagoras and Cleisthenes were at uneven terms.

Cleisthenes was the political leader who was loved by everyone and was the favorite to be picked.
