Libby Maddox · Answer 1

The correct answer is C) establishing rules for choosing leaders based on ability and talent.

Greek philosophers influenced later democratic thought in "Establishing rules for choosing leaders based on ability and talent."

It was the Greeks, specifically the Athenians, who developed the concept of democracy, a political system where the rulers were elected by the people. Cleisthenes, a statesman, is often cited as the father of Greek democracy. Greek philosophers described the virtues and characteristics of government leaders and the responsibilities they had in ruling a city.
