Does Tao Exile Law reflect the abuse and misuse of power?
The exile law of pottery tablets is a unique political and legal system implemented by several ancient Greek city-states such as Athens in the 5th century BC. During the 6th meeting of the Standing Committee (also known as the Presidium, which is the permanent body of the 500-member parliament) of the Athens City-State Parliament every year (65438+February), the Standing Committee will ask the Parliament whether it is necessary to cast a pottery exile vote to rid the city-state of people with excessive influence (the Agoraiginal purpose of this system is to exile Athenian politicians who have ambitions to restore tyranny). If the parliament votes to pass the proposal, exile will be implemented in February or March of the following year. However, the convening of the exile voting meeting does not mean that someone must be exiled, because Athens law stipulates that the exile voting must reach a quorum of 6000 people. On the day of voting, a circular venue was enclosed with wooden boards in Agora Center, and an entrance of 10 was reserved, corresponding to 10 tribes in Athens. Citizens of the same tribe can enter the venue from the same entrance. The voter engraved the names of people he thought should be exiled on the flat part of the ballot pot and put them in the ballot box of his tribe. If the total number of votes does not reach 6000, the vote will be declared invalid; If it exceeds 6000, the tickets are classified according to the names on the tickets. The candidate who won the most votes was exiled in that year, and the exile period was 10 years (five years, but it can be removed at any time for the needs of the city-state). Exiles have no right to defend themselves and must be dealt with within 10 days.
