Final answer:

Under the Greek definition of a citizen, men qualified for citizenship, along with the female relatives and underage children of full citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the Greek definition of a citizen, men qualified for citizenship. Free adult men born of legitimate citizens were considered citizens with full legal and political rights, including the right to vote, be elected into office, and bear arms, with the obligation to serve in the army during wartime. The female relatives and underage children of full citizens were also considered citizens, but they had no formal political rights. They were typically represented within society by their adult male relatives.
