Question

What conclusion can be drawn about the people of Athens based on the chart? Only men were allowed to become citizens. Only about half the population were citizens. Free non-citizens outnumbered enslaved persons and citizens combined. Compared to the whole population, a small number could vote.

Answer 1

The conclusion we can draw from this context is:

In the city of Athens in ancient Greece, society was well divided and clearly sectioned. This means that citizens made important decisions on the issues of the city, but did not want to say that everyone enjoyed those benefits. What is shown that the benefits of citizenship at that time was much more limited and was something more exclusive than today.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "Compared to the whole population, a small number could vote."

Athenian Democracy is the first known system of democracy in the world. It originated in the city-state of Athens around the 6th century BC. This apparatus practiced a system of legislation and executive bills. Participation was not open to all citizens but rather a limited number of adult males, which represented around 30% of the population.
