Who could become a citizen in Athens?
Originally Athenian citizenship was determined by your heritage but this practice was removed after what some people consider the 'Hoplite revolution' which determined one's ability to fight as the justifying reason behind one's right to vote and thus the granting of full citizenship. After some time right to vote was extended to all free men - namely men who were not slaves and were Athenian/Attican. This, comprised of approximately one fifth of the Athenian populace but it was rare that the entirety of this fifth would ever vote on any given matter. Other city states actually permitted citizenship on an inter-polis level but to my knowledge this never happened with Athens [This should definitely be checked up on]. Hope that helped!
