Covering the period 403-322 B.C., Mogens Herman Hansen focuses on the crucial last thirty years, which coincided with the political career of Demosthenes. Hansen distinguishes between the citys seven political institutions: the Assembly, the nomothetai, the Peoples Court, the boards of magistrates, the Council of Five Hundred, the Areopagos, and ho boulomenos. He discusses how Athenians conceived liberty both as the ability to participate in the decision-making process and as the right to live without oppression from the state or other citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52341785788704,"sku":"USED0806131438","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/619PCxPfg_L.jpg?v=1789162249","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-athenian-democracy-in-the-age-of-demosthenes-structure-principles-and-ideology-0806131438-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
