Best Answer

Athens was in an insoluble socio-political mess by the beginning of the 6th Century BCE - people were being sold into foreign slavery for debt by crditos who were unwilling to give up this right. It was the richer versus the poorer. Revolt was in the air. Solon was given the power to solve it as he was trusted to favour neither side.

In 592 BCE, after having served as chief magistrate two years earlier and gained a degree of trust, he was appointed to reform the constitution.
