Pericles Funeral Oration

1. Pericles felt that Athens was great because of their form of government, a Democracy. He states that the Democracy put power in the hands of the whole people rather than a few.
2. Pericles states that Athens's Democracy serves as a model for other city states.
3. In Pericles's description of Athens, Pericles only speaks of Athens's greatness. He does not even mention any flaws that Athens has.
