	Boule - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In Athens the ancient council was called the Boule until the institution of a democratic council, or committee of the Ecclesia, when, for purposes of distinction, it was described as "the Boule on the Areopagus," or, more shortly, "the Areopagus" (q.v.).
		During each of these periods the council was represented by the fifty councillors of one of the ten tribes, who acted as a committee for carrying on business for a tenth of the year.
		It must be clearly understood that the recommendation of the council had no intrinsic force until by the votes of the Ecclesia it passed into law as a psephism.

		As regards the future, four Councils were to be created, of men of the age already mentioned, and one of these was to be chosen by lot to take office at once, while the others were to receive it in turn, in the order decided by the lot.
		For this purpose the hundred commissioners were to distribute themselves and all the rest as equally as possible into four parts, and cast lots for precedence, and the selected body should hold office for a year.
		The casting of the lot for the Council was to be held by the nine Archons; votes on divisions were to be counted by five tellers chosen by lot from the members of the Council, and of these one was to be selected by lot every day to act as president.

	Areopagus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		According to Plutarch, Solon’s Council existed as a check on the power of the people; the 400 Councillors were “to deliberate before the People, and nothing was to be brought before the Assembly without an initial resolution of the Council’ (οὓς προβουλεύειν ἔταξε τοῦ δήμου καὶ μηδὲν ἐᾶν ἀπροβούλευτον εἰς ἐκκλησίαν εἰσφέρεσθαι) (Plut.
		This function of the Council, as a body that was democratic, like the Assembly, but also able to keep secrets, because of its smaller size and indoor meetings, appears in another anecdote from Diodorus.
		Consequently, when the Council learned all the details and decided that what he said was for the advantage of the state and was feasible, the people, without more ado, agreed with the Council, and Themistocles received authority to do whatever he wished.

		The Council also superintends the triremes that are already in existence, with their tackle and sheds, and builds new triremes or quadriremes, whichever the Assembly votes, with tackle and sheds to match.

		The Council of Areopagus had as its constitutionally assigned duty the protection of the laws; but in point of fact it administered the greater and most important part of the government of the state, and inflicted personal punishments and fines summarily upon all who misbehaved themselves.
		The Council of Areopagus was guardian of the laws, and kept watch over the magistrates to see that they executed their offices in accordance with the laws.
		Solon also appointed a Council of four hundred, a hundred from each tribe; but he assigned to the Council of the Areopagus the duty of superintending the laws, acting as before as the guardian of the constitution in general.

	Greek Oligarchies, page 158 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the few instances in which larger councils occur in oligarchies, we may assume that they practically took the place of the assembly, and that no more numerous body was entrusted with real power.
		Thus in the oligarchic revolution at Athens in 411, the Five Thousand were practically excluded from the government, while in the projected constitution, the acting council was apparently intended to be formed of one fourth part of the whole body of the citizens8.
		In the later oligarchy the Thirty nominated a council of Five Hundred, but this was the most numerous body in the constitution, and the Thirty themselves probably acted as a council8.

	BACKGROUND - Direct Democracy in Ancient Athens, Switzerland, U.S.
		The Council of Five Hundred (or Boule) was introduced, with important preliminary jurisdiction to deputize when the regular meeting of all the Voters (or Ecclesia) was not in session and to select the agenda (i.e., select Candidate Direct Initiatives) for the Ecclesia (i.e., the Voters).
		The selection of Council of Five Hundred members was usually by lot and for only one year to prevent the monopoly of the office of deputy by professional politicians.
		However, the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution in 1787, a hundred years before the discovery of Aristotle’s "Constitution of Athens", which had been lost in the 7th Century and not rediscovered until 1880-1891.
