The good asnwer is "Designing the first democratic structures."

Explanation:

Cleisthenes (570-508 BCE) is an Greek statesman that is seen as the founder of ancient Athenian democracy. As the highest magistrate of the city-state, he found a common cause with the popular Assembly against the nobles and promoted democratic reforms. What is perhaps his most important contribution is laying individual political responsibility in citizenship of a place instead of clan membership.
