They included a range of legal codes addressing issues such as property rights, contracts, family matters, and criminal offenses. Notably, the laws were often publicly displayed to ensure transparency and accountability. Athenian law also featured a system of popular courts, where citizens could participate in the judicial process.

His measures included the abolition of debt slavery and the establishment of more equitable laws, earning him widespread support from the populace.

The term democracy first appeared in ancient greek political and philosophical thought. The philosopher Plato contrasted democracy, the system of "rule by the governed", with the alternative systems of monarchy (rule by one individual), oligarchy (rule by a small élite class) and timocracy.[21] Although Athenian democracy is today considered by many to have been a form of direct democracy, originally it had two distinguishing features: firstly the allotment (selection by lot) of ordinary citizens to government offices and courts,[22] and secondarily the assembly of all the citizens. All the male Athenian citizens were eligible to speak and vote in the Assembly, which set the laws of the city-state; citizenship was not granted to women, or slaves. Of the 250,000 inhabitants only some 30,000 on average were citizens. Of those 30,000 perhaps 5,000 might regularly attend one or more meetings of the popular Assembly. Most of the officers and magistrates of Athenian government were allotted; only the generals (strategoi) and a few other officers were elected
