<span> Athens moved from being ruled by a king to being ruled by a small number of wealthy, land-owning aristocrats. Aristotle’s Constitution of the Athenians, a description of Athenian government, says that the status of “King” became a political office, one of three “Rulers” or “Archons” under the new system, and Athens came to be governed by the King Archon, the War-Lord, and the Archon. “Appointment to the supreme offices of state went by birth and wealth; and they were held at first for life, and afterwards for a term of ten years.” Later, six other Archons were added to the role. These Nine Archons ruled the Athenians, along with the Council of the Areopagus, which consisted of all former Archons, serving on this board for life.<span> </span></span>
Aristotle (384-322 BC) is considered one of the greatest philosophers of all times next to <em>Socrates </em>-father of that field of study. Born in Greece, he pointed a thin line separated the rich and the poor. For him, there were little markers that proved wealth in Athens during the Classical period such as the number of horses one possessed. For instance, he mentioned:
<em />
<em>“In the number of horses which they keep, for they cannot afford to keep them unless they are rich.”</em>
Tybalt was Juliettes cousin (the capulet family) and Romeo (montaque?) killed a capulet. In all, romeo killed a capulet and now the capulets hate his family even more for killing one of a their close member.
