Pericles was a prominent Athenian statesman during the Golden Age of Athens and is often associated with the development of direct democracy in the city-state. Under his leadership, the Athenian assembly became a central institution where citizens could participate directly in decision-making, influencing laws and policies. Pericles championed the idea that all citizens, regardless of wealth or status, should have a voice in governance, thereby strengthening democratic principles. His era marked a significant expansion of civic involvement and political rights in Athens.
