Who created a direct democracy in athens and why?

Solon (in 594 BC), Cleisthenes (in 508/7 BC), and Ephialtes (in 462 BC) contributed to the development of Athenian democracy.

Explanation: The Greek idea of democracy was different from present-day democracy because, in Athens, all adult citizens were required to take an active part in the government.  When a new law was proposed, all the citizens of Athens had the opportunity to vote on it. Democracy in Athens was started largely thanks to the philosopher and politician Pericles. He dominated Athenian politics and ruled by wise influence and negotiation. Pericles believed that all citizens should partake in government and was the first to offer a stipend to men in office.

The correct answer is B, or Pericles.
