In ancient Athens, full political rights were granted exclusively to male citizens who were born to Athenian parents. These citizens could participate in the assembly, hold public office, and engage in the political life of the city-state. Women, slaves, and foreign residents (metics) were excluded from these rights and could not participate in the democratic processes of Athens.
