Question

How were those on the Council who handled taxes and treaties in Athens picked?

Answer 1

Im thinking the best answers are D and A although i'm going more towards A because it makes the most sense since people are elected meaning they are good for the job and can handle taxes and treaties.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Those on the Council who handled taxes and treaties in Athens were choosen by lottery.

Explanation:

In the cities of Ancient Greece the Boule was a restricted council of citizens in charge of the ordinary affairs of the city.

In Athens, the Boule was composed of 500 members, who were elected annually by lottery among citizens over thirty years. The Boule was the true governing body of democracy and carried out deliberative, administrative and judicial functions.
