Answer:

A. Ten elected generals were responsible for carrying on the work of the Assembly and Council.

B. Paid juries of citizens heard legal cases and made decisions.

C. Power was in the hands of the people and all citizens were equal before the law.

Step-by-step explanation:

Athenian democracy depended on three primary organizations. The Assembly, which met normally and was made up every single off national (grown-up guys), met routinely to talk about issues confronting the city-state and pass enactment.

The Council of 500 was the managerial arm of the administration, which set the plan for Assembly gatherings and embraced the everyday runnings of the legislature.

Lastly, the People's Court was the legal part of government, where Athenians would be attempted before a jury of their friends.
