The world “ Solon” has come to be a nickname for a lawyer, but few people know that Solon (639 to 599 B.C.) was an actual person, one of the most famous and respected lawmakers of Athens. He was known as one of the “ seven wise men of Greece”. Solon was given right to change laws to help a country in need of reform. The government assumed political powers. He also got help from courts in which citizens could appeal (上诉) official decisions. Any citizen who even didn’t belong to any class of society could become a member of the public law courts. The rich and the theoretically had equal rights.
However, Solon did not establish a democracy, but an oligarchy. Only citizens of the high classes could hold public office and only citizens of the very highest class could hold the leadership. It is interesting to compare ancient Greece with America today. In America, while nearly all citizens can vote, even those from the very lowest class. However, it certainly may be true that only those from the highest, or wealthiest class are elected to the highest offices of the country.
According to historians, Solon was away from the country for 10 years. When he returned, he found that the country was at war with itself. Peisistratus became the leader. In history, Peisistratus was famous as a tyrant(暴君). Every person wants to know whether mankind is doomed(命中注定) to repeat its mistakes forever.
One group suggests that members of congress be elected for a six-year term. At the end of that term, each congress person will decide whether he should be appointed for life or not.

D. In the historians’ opinion the rich and the poor had equal political right.
32. Based on the information given in the passage, what does word “oligarchy” mean?
A. government controlled by the highest class of citizens.
