Which of these describes the contribution of Draco to democratic concepts developed in Ancient Greece:

Aristocratic rule

Draco developed a set of laws that were in favor of aristocracy with harsh bias and cruelty, giving more power to wealthy landowners, and death sentences for trivial matters. These laws led to the term “draconian” meaning excessively harsh and/or severe.
