<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>

The statement "the first clue that something had changed after Rip wakes up is that his dog wolf is licking his face" is False. In fact, when he woke up his dog, Wolf was nowhere to be found. Rip Van Winkle just noticed that his beard has grown foot long and his musket was rusty and rotting.
