Answer:
The richest people in the society (like elon musk or the kardashians lol) were called "aristocrats". Over a third of society were women and children, the others were men. Women were considered citizens but were not able to vote. Freeman, men who were not slaves (but were second-class to the common people), were not allowed to vote or participate in government (like run for senate or smt). Freemen made up around 10% of the population. They often were not born in Athens and moved there to find good jobs and make money. Freemen were often craftsmen and merchants. When the economy started going up, the number of merchants increased and trade increased as well. Slaves made up 1/3 of the population, and slaves were mostly prisoners of war (people captured in war). Slaves were considered private property, owned by an individual and not the government.
By the third century, Christianity was well established in and around Greece and the Middle East, as well as in Rome, Alexandria, Carthage and a few cities such as Lyons in the 'barbarian' western Europe.
Christianity had largely failed to penetrate Egypt outside Alexandria, or much of western Europe. Even Italy, outside the city of Rome, seems to have largely resisted Christianity. It seems that the Egyptian and Celtic religions had not entered a period of decline and scepticism in the way that the Greco-Roman religion had done. However, there was no impediment to Christians preaching in those areas, other than a lack of interest on the part of the population.
Christian tradition suggests that the Christians suffered constant harrassment and persecution by the Roman authorities. However, Euan Cameron (Interpreting Christian History: The Challenge of the Churches' Past) says, "Contrary to popular tradition, the first three centuries of Christianity were not times of steady or consistent persecution. Persecution was sporadic, intermittent, and mostly local." Edward Gibbon (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire) goes further and, on a number of occasions, praises the pagan Romans for their general tolerance towards Christianity. Widespread and persistent persecution of other faiths only really began with the Christian Empire.
There was a total of perhaps 12 years of official persecution of Christianity during nearly three hundred years in which Christianity existed in the pagan Empire. Otherwise, the Christians were largely allowed to worship as they pleased, and even to proselytise their faith, as long as they took care not to offend others or disturb the peace. This allowed Christianity to prosper and spread far and wide.

Media coverage gives voters an impression of the candidates.
Because much of media coverage comes in very brief news segments and even short "sound bites," it tends to provide an impression of the candidates, without necessarily providing in-depth presentation and analysis of their views. This varies, of course, depending on which "media" you have in mind with the question. Committed news organizations which employ highly skilled journalists will do deeper pieces on candidates and their views or policies -- see, for instance, articles in The New York Times or Washington Post or The Atlantic.
There are many new forms of media--such as social media websites and politically-aligned cable networks--where people can go to get biased perspectives and be told how to vote or not to vote. But the most respected media outets strive to present a full picture and cover all candidates. Still, because most voters will watch or read only portions of news media coverage, the best answer is that media tends to give voters an impression of candidates -- which sometimes is less complete than the full picture.
Answer:
D. Making laws
Explanation:
A senate refers to a deliberative assembly or council of elected citizens found in the upper chamber or house of a bicameral legislature. A bicameral legislature can be defined as a legislative body that comprises of two chambers or houses; upper house and lower house. The upper chamber or house consists of senators while the lower chamber consists of house of representatives.
Generally, the type of government in which legislators such as a senator are found is known as a democracy. Thus, democracy refers to a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
<em>The primary function of the Senate is to make (enact) laws and that is why they're usually referred to as the legislative arm of government (legislature). In addition to making laws, senators are saddled with the responsibility of confirming any appointment made by the president that requires consent and the ratification of treaties. </em>
Also, senators are usually elected by the people of the state they are representing and as such must be an indigene of the state.
