How did the government in ancient Greece develop?

Answer
A
One’s family of birth gradually became unimportant to citizenship.

The wealthy gained power as the city-states moved away from tyrants.
C
Citizens and noncitizens were able to participate in developing laws.
D
Power moved from the upper classes to include members of all social classes.

Explanation

Government in ancient Greece gradually broadened as political power shifted from aristocratic upper classes toward a wider group of citizens. This change did not mean that everyone could participate: women, enslaved people, and foreigners generally lacked political rights. Therefore, the best answer is that power moved from the upper classes to include members of more social classes.
