 What did pericles  Our constitution is called a
say at the democracy because power is in
funeral of the the hands not of a minority but
dead to keep the of the whole people. When it is
Athenians a question of settling private
fighting? disputes, everyone is equal
before the law; When it is a
question of putting one person
before another in positions of
public responsibility, what
counts is not membership of a
particular class, but the actual
ability which the man
possesses. No one . . . is kept
[out of government] because of
poverty.”
