Answer 1

A. when power was seized from the wealthy and rights were given to the poor in the Greek city-state

Step-by-step explanation:

In ancient Athens, the aristocrats had been in power and took as much land and wealth as they could, whereas the lower classes could be sold into slavery. The idea of giving a voice to the people began when the tyrants seized power from the aristocrats in the Greek city-state of ancient Athens.
