Cleisthenes was an Athenian statesman, a noble family of ancient Greece. By 501 BC, he introduced constitutional reforms and laid the groundwork for Athenian democracy.

Explanation:

Cleisthenes began introducing democracy in Greece in 508 BC, following some basic principles previously laid down by Solon.
From 508 to 502 BC, Cleisthenes developed a series of major reforms, which led to the creation of the Athenian democracy.
Cleisthenes declared all people living in Athens and Attica free citizens, giving them the right to vote and declaring them part of a democratic society.
He was also the first to set up a council (the Five Hundred Council) in which citizens over thirty were entitled to sit, bringing the public into the work of the government.
He also introduced ostracism, that is, the expulsion of suspected persons by popular vote.
