The law-making body of Athens was called the Ekklesia, or the Assembly. The Assembly was composed of any Athenian citizen who cared to show up - that is, any Athens-born male over the age of 18. Women and slaves were not allowed to participate. All classes of society, however, from wealthy landowners to the thetes, or manual laborers, were allowed to participate. Before Pericles' reforms, however, only those wealthy enough to have significant amounts of free time on their hands could show up regularly to meetings.
The leader of each meeting of the Assembly were chosen by lottery, with every male citizen over 18 having an equal chance of being drawn. Some of the duties of the Assembly were to vote on laws and decide when to go to war.

What action did the Athenian government take against Pericles?
The reality was that Pericles steered Athens into a radical democracy where the people met in assembly and made the decisions. They were the government. Between fortnightly assembly meetings, an elected council of 50 carried out the decisions of the assembly. Pericles called himself 'First Citizen' and had to persuade the people in assembly to approve any proposals he put forward. Others also put forward proposals to the assembly in parallel of competition. Pericles won some, lost some. He did not rule. That's what the democracy was all about - demos = people kratos = power - people power.
