Answer:

The answer is false, as the correct answer is Athens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corinth actually had a totally different political system. They were more close to Sparta's political views as they were the part of Peloponnesian alliance. Athens started developing as a democracy when the reforms of Clisthenes and Solon were introduced in the 6th Century, while later in the 5th Century it reached its peak.
