Question 19 • Modern World History - SS3316 A-IC

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

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

Explanation

Athenian jurors were male citizens chosen by lot, and juries were often very large—sometimes numbering 500 or more. A random selection of five hundred citizens best fits that system. Women and 25-year-old men were not eligible, and lawyers did not choose the jurors.
