Use this information to answer the next question.

positions of public responsibility, what counts is not membership in a particular class,
but the actual ability which the man possesses."

World History I
SOL WHI.5
Use this information to answer the next question.
We are a democracy because the power to make laws is given to the many rather than
the few. But while the law gives equal justice to everyone, it has not failed to reward
excellence. While every citizen has an equal opportunity to serve the public, we reward
out most distinguished [best] citizens by asking them to make our political decisions.
Nor do we discriminate against the poor. A man may serve his country no matter how
low his position on the social scale.
An Athenian citizen does not put his private affairs before the affairs of the state; even
our merchants and businessmen know something about politics. We alone believe that
a man who takes no interest in public affairs is more than harmless – he is useless.
