Question 2 • Civics and Government

Which scenario would most likely take place under Athens’ jury system?

Answer
A
lawyers picking five hundred men from a pool of one thousand to serve on a jury
B
a random drawing choosing a panel of men and women to serve on a jury
C
a 25-year-old male citizen being selected to his first jury assignment
D
a random selection of five hundred citizens to make up a jury

Explanation

Athens used large juries made up of citizens selected by lot, or random drawing. A random selection of five hundred citizens best matches this system. Lawyers did not choose jurors, and women and 25-year-old men were not eligible to serve as jurors in ancient Athens.
