Explanation: Your Explanation In early August 1787, the Constitutional Convention’s Committee of Detail had just presented its preliminary draft of the Constitution to the rest of the delegates, and the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists were beginning to parse some of the biggest foundational debates over what American government should look like.

And how should we interpret the Constitution in light of those debates today? Two leading scholars of constitutional history – Jack Rakove of Stanford University and Michael Rappaport of the University of San Diego School of Law – join host Jeffrey Rosen.

Answer:
male citizens - the most important group of the society, attended the assembly, could vote
women - had no rights, couldn’t own property, couldn’t take part in the government
slaves - the lowest class of people in Athens, had no rights, did manual labor
metics - free people, but not citizens, born outside of Athens
Explanation:
Although Athens is regarded as the first democracy in the world as we can see it didn't apply to everyone. Only Athenians who were born in that city-state over the age of 18 had political rights and could participate in the decision making process. Women as we can see couldn't vote. It also applies to foreigners (metics) and slaves. Still, position of slaves in Athens was much better than position of slaves in Sparta for example.
