Answer 1

Option B, they thought that they should have more rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aristocracies have been utilized as a type of government since the most long periods of written chronicle. In Ancient Greece, a Greek city-state or a polis could be represented by a ruler, a gentry, or by a vote based system, a type of government where natives make laws for themselves. However, in Greece, the aristocrats seized the property of small landowners and formed new unrelenting regulations for citizens. As a consequence, many Athenian classes were exiled and their property mortgaged to rich aristocrat. The soldiers and merchants were unsatisfied by the aristocratic government in Athens since they thought should have more rights.
