- I also created the Council of Five Hundred were council members were chosen at random and would propose laws and counseled the assembly. There were flaws to my democracy as only free adult male property owners born in Athens had citizenship, no women, slave, or foreigner had citizenshipand they all had limited rights.
- I also organized all Athenians citizens into 4 classes according to wealth, only the top 3 classes could hold political office, but everyone could participate in Athenian assembly.
- My code also dealt with criminals by making a death penalty for many crimes and debt slavery was also in my code were people would work as slaves to pay off their debt.
