Darco -621 BC- all Athens's, rich or poor, were under equal law. Dealt harshly on criminals, making death the punishment for practically every crime
Solon -594 BC- No citizen should own another citizen, outlawed debt slavery. Created 4 social classes according to wealth.
Cleisthenes -500 BC- Organized citizens into 10 groups based on where they lived, not wealth. Allowed all citizens to submit laws for debate.
After the tyrants were expelled, Cleisthenes in 507 BCE frustrated the attempt to return to an oligarchy by establishing a limited democracy based on landowners, great and small. It returned to an oligarchy in the 480s BCE, as the upper class regained leadership to repel the Persian invasion, and they did not give it back afterwards. In 460 BCE Ephialtes re-established democracy but was assassinated by the oligarchs. His deputy Pericles took over and developed the democracy into a radical one, with all adult male citizens participating.

the main political body of Athens was the assembly, which all free adult male citizens had the right to attend
Athens experimented with direct democracy. After some success, this form of government became exploited by special interest groups, and the city-state turned to other less radical forms of government.
