Question

Match each social group in Athenian society with its description.

Answer 1

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.
