Question 185992 • 2026_SUMMER 305_CR_2106010-M/J Civics A

What point is Pericles making about the constitution of ancient Athens?

Answer
A
Laws help men gain more possessions and become richer.
B
Laws help only the people who have government positions.
C
Laws are unequal to citizens because they put one person before another.
D
Laws are for all people to follow, no matter the amount of money they have.

Explanation

Pericles praises Athens for having laws that apply equally to everyone, rather than favoring citizens because they are wealthy or powerful. This means people of every financial status are expected to follow the same laws. Choice D, “Laws are for all people to follow, no matter the amount of money they have,” best expresses that point.
