In ancient Athens, approximately 10-20% of adult male citizens were eligible to become members of the smaller council of 500, known as the Boule. This council was composed of representatives from each of the ten tribes of Athens, with each tribe providing 50 members. Eligibility was limited to free-born male citizens over the age of 30, while women, slaves, and foreign residents were excluded from citizenship. Thus, the percentage of eligible adult males was a small fraction of the total population.
