How to objectively evaluate Pericles's Rubik's Cube of Democratic Politics?

On the positive side, democracy in Athens reached its peak in a small country during the reign of Pericles.

(1) official positions at all levels are open to all citizens except the ten generals, all of whom are selected by lottery;

(2) The citizens' assembly, the meeting of 500 people and the jury court have the most full powers.

(1) The citizens' assembly has become the highest authority in the country in fact, and every citizen has the right to speak and vote at the meeting;

Every member of the 500-member assembly has the opportunity to serve as the rotating chairman of the citizens' assembly and take charge of the highest state power.

(3) In order to ensure that all citizens, especially low-level citizens, can actively participate in the political affairs of the country on time, the state pays salaries and allowances to citizens who hold public office and participate in the political activities of the city-state.

(4) The power of the aristocratic meeting is almost exhausted, and it only deals with some matters related to religion.

(5) It further weakened the aristocratic power, made the democratic politics in Athens reach its peak, and made brilliant achievements in economic and cultural construction.

On the negative side, this kind of democracy is impossible in a country with more than 7500 people.

(1) The scope of democracy is extremely small.

It is not democracy in the modern sense, but democracy of male citizens in Athens, while immigrants, slaves, citizens of other countries and women have no democratic rights, and it is democracy in a narrow sense.

It is not only a catalyst of great civilization, but also a violent machine of social injustice and tyranny of the majority over the minority, including the execution of Socrates, which is a crime of democracy.

(2) There is no error correction mechanism. Once most people make a mistake, it is irreversible. The most prominent example is the expedition to Sicily, where the expeditionary force was defeated, and Athens immediately declined seriously. Therefore, any democratic way must be guaranteed by decentralization.
