Athenian democracy faced challenges, particularly during the Peloponnesian War, when military leaders & wealthy citizens sought to replace it with oligarchy, believing they could manage the state better... Sounds familiar?

This may be an interesting side note: One of the factors that lead to the fall of democracy in ancient Athens was military members taking over roles of the educated arestocracy.The Athenian democracy's rigorous debating of war, reduced the risks of Athenian cultural militarism. #MaslowsHammer
