How did the first democracy die?

1547.016 - 1567.523 PJ Vogt

What you would get paid as a laborer for one day, something like that. It's funny, I have to say, on first blush, the idea of paying people to vote does not seem so bad to me. It would mean more people voted, maybe more working people voted. But what happened in Athens is that the demagogues realized offering to pay people to do things was a very good way to buy public support.
