The Agora was the center place for Athenian democracy. It was a place where people gathered for social events, religious practices, commerce, and law practices. In this bustling space, people discussed politics and were able to share different views. Because the court was located in a public place, people were able to observe the justice system’s practices and talk about them. It served as the social hub for politics to be discussed and debated. Famous philosophers even gathered at the Agora to discuss their views on politics and the government systems.
