The punishmentto most crimes will be death. I also have installed debt slavery. After gaining freedom slaves must now repay their debt

- I am ruler Cleisthenes! I have been ruler of Athens since 500 BC. I broke up the power of Nobility. I organized society into 10 groups based on location. I increased the power of the assembly by allowing citizens to submit laws for debate and passage. And I created something called the council of 500, the members were chosen at random or by lot. The councilwas made to create laws to council the assembly.
