This is best guarrranteed by democracy he states. sparta outlasted all the
other classsical greek city states because it had a dual chief executiveship: in
its case dual kings who ruled on alternate years. each in his year of service

reversed next year by the other. ther cherokees had dual cheif executives in
the form of a peace cheir, who could be a man of a woman, and a war cheif who
had to be a man. the chrokees, of the cherokee-iroquois langage group, were
the only amerindain tribe to invent on their own a written alphabet, build
baptist churches, grist mills, north european style log cabins, european farm
animals and a european life style.
