What are the characteristics of democracy elaborated by Perikles?

First of all, the regime is in the hands of the majority, not a few; Secondly, everyone is equal before the law; Thirdly, holding honorary public office only depends on personal ability, not class. It can be concluded that the basic characteristics of Athenian democracy are "people's sovereignty and rule by turns". People's sovereignty means that all state power belongs to all citizens, who are rulers, participate in politics, and collectively hold the highest state power. Taking turns in power means that the official position cannot be re-elected, and the ruler becomes the ruled after retirement. In addition, the vast majority of official positions in Athens, including the highest consuls and the lowest-ranking small officials, were elected by lot. In this way, people's sovereignty, taking turns to govern and drawing lots are linked, thus ensuring the effective implementation of democratic rights.
