They well in a way were limited because they had diffrent governments and they had kings that were the bigshot even though they werent rich they would be born right. Which means that if they weren't born in they family then they can't be king or queen because you have to be born in the family.
they also were limited in food and clothing if you were not rich
in classical Athens, only free men possessing a certain value/quantity of property were eligible to be herd or hold office.
while man began earlier than today [16 or even 14], the number of eligible men was a few thousand or tens of thousands in a city of over 100,000 inhabitants.
there were actually more slaves in Athens than eligible men.
it was also perfectly possible for a free man, possibly a military man, to NOT be eligible because he possessed insufficient property or assets. In fact, this was probably the majority of men.
Source(s):grampaAt its height, it was unlimited. The citizens met in fortnightly assembly and the council brought matters before it for discussion and decision. The council then carried out these decisions. Similarly, courts had no judges, the juries ruled on both decisions and penalties.
Councillors, other office bearers and juries were selected by lot (apart from the generals, as they didn't want to risk idiots leading them in war). The risks of incompetents was ameliorated by ten people occupying each function, on the logic of the odds being on the side of at least some being smart enough to have the function being carried out effectively. In fact the system was open to manipulation by the self-interested, and a law was established carrying the death penalty for 'misleading the people' to deter this.
As the failures mounted up, it became necessary to establish limited government from time to time to restore the failures of this unlimited people-power (democracy: demos = people, kratos = power).
After the disastrous loss in the Peloponnesian War, Athens established a less radical form of democracy, and eventually discarded it when the Macedonians took control of Greece. Then there came the limitations - citizens voted on motions put before them in the assembly - yes or no, not the endless gyrations of the previous radical democracy..
When first introduced by Cleisthenes in 507 BCE, it was restricted to the farming population. It was extended by Pericles 60 years later to a radical democracy where the citizens in assembly made the decisions and the council carried them out.
anything i can do you can do better::::::::::::
It did not apply to all the population.
