Answer 1

The right answers are: Had its origins in the work of an elected official Solon in 594 BC, was a direct democracy one man, one vote, the precursor to the american governmental system and did not allow women and slaves to participate in any way. The Ekklesia or Ecclesia was the main assembly of Athenian democracy in Ancient Greece and had a popular character, open to all male citizens with two years of military service, including tete.

It was used to appoint magistrates, so that they were chosen by lot, with all the Athenians taking part in the assembly. In this way, they also indirectly elected the Aeropago components, who were elected by the magistrates elected by the Ekklesia.

Answers are:

1. Was comprised of nobles serving in the legislature.

4. Was, as a direct democracy one man one vote, the precursor to the American governmental system.

Every year in Dicastery, a judicial body in ancient Greece, six thousand male citizens (volunteers of no less than 30 years old) were appointed by lottery to take a place on particular court board.

Every group conformed by five hundred dicasts integrated a court throughout the whole year. In the most relevant cases, many dicasteries were joined. The veredict was established by majority vote, and in the case of draw, the accused was absolved. Of course, women and slaves were completely kept out from any forms of public life.
