The conference of delegates from 39 nations was held at Dumberton Oaks, a historic estate in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC. Thus the conference is often referred to as the "Dumberton Oaks Conference." The official name of the gathering, which took place from August 21 to October 7, 1944, was the Washington Conversations on International Peace and Security Organization.

The ultimate result of this conference was the establishment of The United Nations. The UN Charter, signed in 1945, lists the purposes of the organization in Chapter I, Article 1, as follows:

The Purposes of the United Nations are:

To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
To be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

30,000 and 60,000

Explanation:

Given that almost half of the population of Athens was made up of slaves, the total number of males eligible for political participation ranged between "30,000 and 60,000"

This is evident in the common population statistics presented by many historians concerning the city of Athens, before the period of 432 BCE.

The statistics show that the city of Athens had a minimum of 140,000 Athenians, roughly 40,000 were men and citizens, while about 40,000 were considered slaves, which is almost half of the population.

Hence, given that some historians were not exact about the population of males eligible for political participation, the general consensus is that it ranged between "30,000 and 60,000"
