History

By the early 6th century B.C. social tensions in Athens had become acute, pitting the poorer citizens against rich and powerful landowners. Many citizens were reduced to the status of share croppers, and others had actually sold themselves into slavery to meet their debts. To resolve the crisis the Athenians appointed Solon as archon (magistrate) to serve as mediator and lawgiver. Plutarch and Aristotle describe in some detail the constitution devised by Solon, who then went into voluntary exile to avoid being pressured into amending this legislation.
Solon canceled most debts and freed those Athenians who had been enslaved, but he refused to redistribute property or to deprive the aristocracy of most of the political power.

Historically, which demographic group has made up the majority of the population in the united states
ahrayia [7]
<span>The 0-19 demographic is the cohort that is the majority of the population in the US over the years. This seems to be counter-intuitive, since it is usually thought that there are typically more adults than kids, but it shows that adults are more dispersed in their ages than youth are in the country.</span>
