Which of these statements best describes the Greek city-states?

Answer
A
Each city-state had the same level of influence.
B
Each city-state allowed all people to vote.
C
Each city-state had the same social organization.
D
Each city-state had its own form of government.

Explanation

Greek city-states, or poleis, were independent communities, each with its own laws and political system. Some were ruled by kings or oligarchies, while others, such as Athens, developed forms of democracy. Therefore, the best description is that each city-state had its own form of government; they did not all share the same influence, voting rights, or social organization.
