What type of government did Nike have?
Nike had a democracy where you had to be a man over sixteen years old to participate in a government position, and also have been born in the city-state. There is one main leader, who will have the most power. There will be many others in the lawmaking and government positions. These positions will be established by the voters who are the male citizens older than the age of fourteen and also born in Nike. Women and slaves will have absolutely no voice in government. Out of the population of about 275,000, only about 35,000 were actually able to vote. Having the slaves of Nike doing the laborous work, it allowed for citizens to participate in government positions since it gave them more time.
