Use the passage and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following question.
Solon, a Greek of noble descent but moderate means, was a poet and later a lawmaker.
The classical historian Plutarch wrote a prominent biography about him. Solon attempted to
satisfy both the rich and poor by alleviating the suffering of the poor majority without removing
all the privileges of the rich minority. Solon divided the Greeks into four property classes with
different rights and duties for each. He established the purpose and functions of the
governmental bodies. All citizens were entitled to attend the Ecclesia (Assembly) and vote. The
Ecclesia evolved to become the ruling government body, entitled to pass laws and decrees,
elect officials, and hear appeals from the most important decisions of the courts.
