Change in Greek government

Explain the process by which Governments in Greece changed from monarchies to various other forms(in many cases eventually becoming democracies) during the Archaic Era. (1-2 paragraphs)

The power change started with limited monarchy as kings. The king then was overthrown and the nation would move to aristocracy oligarchy. Then the aristocratic people's would be overthrown by tyrants. From there it was a short jump from that to democracy. Instead of the lower class putting all trust in one tyrant, they put power in themselves, thus making the new government a democracy.
