Solon, an Athenian statesman and lawmaker in the early 6th century BCE, significantly contributed to the development of democracy by implementing a series of political and economic reforms. He abolished debt slavery, reorganized the political structure into four classes based on wealth, and established the Council of Four Hundred to represent different segments of society. His reforms laid the groundwork for greater civic participation and set the stage for subsequent democratic developments in Athens. Solon is often regarded as a key figure in the transition from aristocratic rule to a more inclusive political system.
