Athens democracy- FAIR or UNFAIR?

     I personally do not think the Athens democracy was fair. Sure Athens citizens had a fair chance of having their voice heard or becoming a leader. But the chance to become a citizen was low. You had to be a male over 20 with military training and both your parent and you had to be Athen. That disqualifies a lot of people.

         The women, medics and slaves were free but weren’t citizens. They couldn’t vote or own property or participate in politics. They were free but had there restrictions.

         One of three people were slaves and under 24 hour surveillance. Also most people lived happy free lives before war. And none of the slaves could do anything about it because those people could not be heard by the government since they are not citizens.

             In conclusion I do not think that Athens democracy system is fair. I feel they do not have a fair chance of being in the government. The women and slaves were not treated properly. Therefore I feel Athens democracy was not fair.
