Metics have some rights, but not as much as aristocrats. Metics can't vote, but they can influence government. They couldn't own property, but they could use law courts.
Only male citizens of a city-state had rights. Women, children, non-citizens, aliens and slaves had no rights. Resident aliens (Metics) did have privileges according to beneficial contributions they made to the city. But these were not rights. Metics were expected to turn out in defence of the city when necessary as a quid pro quo for those privileges. Athens eg had a separate regiment of metics who were expected to fight very well to demonstrate their appreciation.
A resident alien, not a citizen but part of society.
not sure
they were called either merchants or metics.
Only for slaves was it possible to improve their status in society. Occasionally, a master would pay to set a skilled slave up in business. He would receive a share of the profits in return. Some of these wage earning slaves were able to save up and buy their freedom. However, freed slaves could never become citizens or metics.
Metics were foreign residents in ancient Greek city-states who were free individuals with limited rights and protections, while slaves were individuals who were considered property and had no rights or legal status. Metics could engage in trade and pay taxes, while slaves were owned by others and performed labor or services under coercion.

Non-characteristics of metics include being citizens of the city-state, possessing full legal rights, and owning land. Metics, typically foreign residents in ancient Athens, were distinct from citizens as they lacked political rights and could not vote or hold public office. They often contributed economically and culturally but were not entitled to the same privileges as native citizens.
Metics, or resident aliens in ancient Athens, had certain rights and duties distinct from citizens. They could own property, engage in business, and participate in some legal matters, but they were excluded from voting and holding public office. Metics were required to pay taxes and serve in the military during times of war, reflecting their contribution to the city-state despite their non-citizen status. Overall, they played a vital role in Athenian society while lacking full citizenship rights.
Metics were the resident aliens of Athens. They were traders, students, craftsmen etc. They did not have citizenship rights, but had a degree of protection as residents. They were required to help defend the city if it was was threatened (but not required for expeditionary forces), having their own regiment and expected to fight as well or better than the citizens.
