During athens first democracy the people

A) were divided based on wealth.

Explanation:

The history of Athenian democracy can be understood in the light of a series of transformations suffered by Athenian society and economy. Until the seventh and sixth centuries, Athenian political power was controlled by an aristocratic elite holding the fertile lands of Athens: the Eupatrid or "well born."

In the meantime, a nascent powerful class of merchants, demiurges, required participation in the decision-making processes of Athenian political life. Moreover, small merchants and landlords affected by debt-bondage demanded a revision of Athenian political power. With this, the Eupatrids were forced to reformulate the political institutions of the city-state.

A group of lawmakers was responsible for a gradual process of political transformation. In 621 BCE, Dracon decided to establish a set of written laws that would give way to the oral laws previously known by the Eupatrids. Even though it did not weaken the power of the aristocracy, this first measure made possible a new juridical tradition that removed the total control of the laws invoked by the Eupatrids.  From 594 BC, Solon, the new legislator, expanded the range of political reforms in Athens, eliminated debt bondage, and resolved to divide the Athenian population through the economic power of each individual.
