Read this quotation from pericles’s funeral oration in ancient athens.

it is true that we are called a democracy, because power is in the hands of the many and not the few . . everyone is equal before the law; when a citizen is in any way distinguished, he is chosen for public service, not as a matter of privilege, but as reward for his abilities. neither is poverty an obstacle; a man may benefit his country whatever his social class.

–pericles’s funeral oration, 431 bce

this quotation supports the idea that

the ability to govern should be a privilege

few citizens have the skills for public service

women and men should be equal under the law

both the rich and the poor have the ability to serve

I believe the answer is: both the rich and the poor have the ability to serve

The oration want to conveys to the listener that under a democratic system, both the rich and the poor have influence that could determine the outcome of the government process.

They both could vote for the representative that aligned with their view, the rich could serve the society by providing jobs and charities, and the poor could serve by contributing skills and time until they move up higher in the society's strata
