The democratic politics of the slave owners in Athens experienced a historical development process. Solon's reform in 594 BC laid the foundation for democracy in Athens. After Solon's reform, he experienced the tyrannical political stage ruled by peisistratus and his son. In 509 BC, the reform in Cristini pushed the democracy in Athens to a new stage of development. However, these reforms did not touch the aristocratic meeting, executive committee and other institutions controlled by the gentry, so the gentry still had considerable political power. After Christiani, when Tammy stokely was in power, Athens continued to carry out some reforms. For example, in 487 BC, the election method of consuls was reformed. At that time, when the tribes in 10 pre-selected the consul, the election method was also to draw lots instead of the original vote. In addition to the first-class citizens, the second-class citizens can also engage in this work. This change in the method of electing consuls made consuls no longer interfere in the activities of the Committee of Ten Generals, thus strengthening the position of the Committee of Ten Generals, which was undoubtedly of great significance for Athens, which was at war with Persia at that time, to repel foreign enemies, strengthen its combat readiness and defend the security of the city-state.
But the democratic process in Athens was not smooth sailing. Tamistock, who played an important role in promoting democratic politics, was exiled in 472 BC, while Meng Ke, the leader of optimates, was trapped in the Sino-Polish War and made great achievements. In the political life of Athens in the 1970s and 1960s BC, he became a man of the hour who held real power. He carried out a pro-Spartan policy. In 462 BC, Meng Ke sent troops to help Sparta suppress Riccardo Chailly Luoren in vain, and was insulted by Sparta (refusing to accept Athens' assistance), so the citizens' assembly exiled him, and the democratic leader Ephialtes took power and continued to promote democracy in Athens. He abolished the judicial power of the aristocratic parliament and the supervision of officials, handed over the judicial power to the jury court, and abolished the power of administrative officials to interfere in the administration of justice. In 46 1 year BC, optimates assassinated Ephialtes. Therefore, Athens opened a new era of Pericles's administration.
