Though all citizens were equal, only the wealthy and well-born were likely to serve as jurors or council members.

Explanation:

  • Every free citizen of Athens had the right to attend a session of the assembly, to listen to the debate on all issues, from what to do with the financial surplus, to whether or not to go to war. No slaves or women participated in political life.
  • About six thousand people attended the assembly at the time, and each had the right to climb the booth and make known its position. It would then be voted by raising their hands.
  • When it came to the courts, there were no lawyers or prosecutors. If a citizen wanted justice, he had to go to trial and go to a jury. But in the end, not everything was just and ideal. Unfortunately, there were also "dirty games".
  • The Athenians were widely publicizing everything about their democracy: laws, decrees, honors, treaties, registers, voting lists, calendars and so on. One gets the impression that Athenian democracy was adorned with incredible responsibility and openness.
