Answer 2

1. It was consisted of all Athenian citizens

2.It was led by elected officials

3. It voted directly on laws

Explanation:

• Pericles was a leading and influential Athensian statesman, orator, & general, especially between the Persian & Peloponnesian wars during his Golden Age
• Pericles decided to give complete democratic reforms, and gave the general assembly, known as Ekklesia, full political power. The "Ekklesia" was the main assembly of the ancient Athens democracy. It was the popular assembly which was open to all men when they qualified as citizens.
• The Assembly declared war, military strategy and elected the strategies and other officials. It was responsible for the nomination and election of judges (árchontes), and so the members of the Areopagus ( the court for trying wounding, religious matters, arson, deliberate homicide, etc ) were indirectly elected. They had the final say in the law and the "right to to call magistrates" to account even after their  office year
