Braedon Wilkins · Answer 2

Pericles changed the legislation so that any free male citizen (regardless of wealth or status) could become one of the nine magistrates of Athens. As well, he changed the law so that both parents had to be Athenian citizens for the child to be considered Athenian. What this did was limit who the government of Athens represented, as Athenian citizens were a smaller population as a result of this law.
