Answer 2

• All males had a responsibility to serve on the assembly
• It ushered in an entirely new form of government that we benefit from today.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greek were the ones responsible to develop a new system of government called democracy, Athens was the city-state responsible for that. Although not all citizens could participate (women, slaves, and resident foreigners were excluded) all male citizens had equal political rights.

All male citizens over 18 years old that could speak and vote in the assembly. It was expected from the male citizens they participated, this can be seen in a quote from Thucydides: “We alone consider a citizen who does not partake in politics not only one who minds his own business but useless.”

The ideals of democracy that surfaced in Greek society inspired democracies in the modern world.
