Solon was a democratic reformer of Athens. He created a new, fairer system of dealing with debts. He no longer allowed those not able to pay their debts to be forced into slavery. He replaced many of the harsh laws passed by Draco, the previous leader of Athens. In addition, he instituted a system of appeal in the courts for those who felt wrongly convicted.
