The victory of Bo Shi War greatly promoted the development of the slave ownership economy in Athens, caused the change of the power contrast between different classes of Athenian citizens, and led to the reform in Ephialtes in 462 BC (or 44 BC1year) and Pericles in 443 BC.
These reforms deprived the aristocratic parliament composed of imperial consuls of power, and handed over the power to the citizens' assembly, the people's court and the 500-member parliament respectively, thus bringing the development of democratic politics to a new level. The military colonial system, various social welfare donations, subsidies to citizens and large-scale construction have enabled small producers, who account for the majority of citizens, to enjoy a certain guaranteed material and spiritual life.
During the reign of Pericles (443 BC-429 BC), Athens reached its peak in economy, politics and culture, and became the main cultural center to dominate the country and control the situation in the Greek world.
The Characteristics of Athenian Democracy during Pericles's Administration;
1, official positions at all levels (except ten generals) are open to the public by lottery;
2. The 500-member conference is governed by the people's jury, and the aristocratic conference loses all political rights;
3. Pay wages or subsidies to citizens who hold public office or engage in city-state activities. In the past, nobles were in power for free, so it was difficult for civilians to hold public office by income.
4. Expand the scale and authority of the jury court to make it the highest judicial and supervisory organ.
