Question
what was the main struggle in athens before building a limited democracy? disputes over religion conflicts with persia wars with sparta struggles between rich and poor
Before Athens developed limited democracy, the key internal conflict was between the wealthy aristocracy (who controlled power and land) and the poor (including farmers burdened by debt and slavery). This class struggle led to reforms (e.g., Solon's laws) that paved the way for democratic institutions. Conflicts with Persia and Sparta occurred later, and religious disputes were not the main pre-democracy struggle.
