The Greek had a lot of different governments. This was caused because there were city states. Each city state had its own form of government. Their government also changed at lot over the course of time.

Over the course of time they had four different types of governments. These four governments where: monarchies, oligarchies, tyrannies and democracies. Not all the city states agreed with that type of government so the used a different one. Some of the city states didn't even try out the tyrannies or the democracies.

There where sometimes kings but other times there was not. Whenever there was a king there were normaly two of them. One of the kings stayed back at there kingdom the other king led there army into battle. The second king was normaly related to the other one. The most common way was have your brother be the other king but in some cases they had a cousin be the other king.

Other places that did not have a king had what is called an assembli. The assembli was a group of men that met to make most of their laws. They met a couple times a week to discuse what new laws had to be made what laws they had to get ride of.
