The correct answers are "It grew out of work of a statesman named Solon".
Solon wanted to promote a system that pushed equality and active participation from all citizens in government. He gave Athenians the right of serving in assembly gatherings. These changes represented a significant cange of paradigm to a certain extent towards democracy in Greece.
Every citizen of Athens who owned some kind of property was able to participate in the assembly. <u>Even though you were poor, you could still own a house and be able to serve politically</u>,
<u>Athenians who were in a situation of debt, were restrained from voting but they weren't enslaved.</u> The only slaves they had at the time were foreign.
All males who owned property <u>were free to serve but not obligated</u>.
You could say Greek democracy set things up for an improvement towards political equality, but still continues to be seen as a sort of "collective tyranny".<u> Political decisions were made by majority vote, and this often led to the poor overpassing common welfare, rendering the system a false democracy. </u><u>So even though Greek democracy did push many advances, it also had plenty of crucial flaws it couldn't overcome</u>.
Hope this helps!
