The United Stаtes hаs bоrrоwed lоts from the аncient Greeks, including architecture, the Olympics, coinage, theater, and, most importantly, the concept of democracy. One aspect of ancient political life has not been adopted, however, and perhaps it's time to bring it back: ostracism. Once a year the Athenians would meet and vote on a simple question: Is anyone aiming at a tyranny, is anyone becoming a threat to the democracy? The man with the most votes lost. He was exiled for 10 years, and this was thought to calm any anti-democratic leanings he might have. It was an option designed only to remove an individual from the political arena. Almost every prominent statesman of Athens in the early 5th century BC took one of these 10-year vacations, courtesy of the Athenian people. There's no reason why we could not apply ostracism on the national, state, and even local levels today; an annual opportunity to remove someone whose performance, for whatever reason, has not been acceptable. We would have to trust the voting public to make responsible decisions. The other danger is that if a leading statesman is powerful enough and has the votes, ostracism is a great way to eliminate a weaker but annoying rival. Those in office might not like it, but a return to ostracism would certainly return power to the people and ensure that their voices were heard and heeded.Source: John McK.
