The correct answer is C) The law treats all men equally.
The main idea of Pericles’ statement is that the law treats all men equally.
The statement clearly says that “if we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences.” This means that despite differences among men such as status, class, or family, the law affords equal justice to all.
Pericles (495-429 BCE) was an stasteman from ancient Greek. He was a notable man that when leading the Greeks, worked for the democracy in Athens.
