HEY MATE...HERE IS UR ANSWER...
The old nobility thought that Solon had gone too far and were anxious to reverse the trend; the common people thought that he had not gone far enough. The Alcmaeonids, whom the curse had alienated from the nobility, championed a middle way based on Solon’s reforms; but both these parties were outmaneuvered by Peisistratus, a noble with a good military reputation who appealed to the poorer classes and, with their support, seized power in 560. After an unsuccessful attempt to share power with the tyrant, the Alcmaeonids joined the opposition; but, when Peisistratus, having built up his resources during a 10-year exile, defeated his enemies, the Alcmaeonids again had to leave Attica (546). Cleisthenes was then about 25 years old, and for nearly 20 years he could not return. Nothing more is heard of his father, who probably died before Peisistratus. The Alcmaeonids’ part in the Sacred War ensured the favour of Delphi; this support was further strengthened by the part played by the family in the rebuilding of Apollo’s temple, which had burned down in about 548...

He was later exiled for his opposition to Hippias. Cleisthenes returned to Athens in the early 500s B.C., and sought the archonship once again. Although defeated by Isagoras, Cleisthenes appealed to the public by presenting a program of reform. After a brief political skirmish with his political opponent, Cleisthenes prevailed and his reforms went into effect
