Answer: All Athenian men over the age of thirty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Athens was the first in Europe to develop a democratic system. Yet it was not the democracy we know today. Athenian democracy was limited and only Athenian men over the age of thirty could participate in these processes. Women and slaves were excluded from political everyday life, which means that this first prototype of democracy was discriminatory.
