Source B:  Pericles, The Funeral Oration (Modified)  "Our constitution favors the many instead of the few. This is why it is called a democracy. 

If we look to the laws, they give equal justice to all...Social class is not allowed to interfere with someone’s skills or intelligence, and poverty does not block the way. The freedom which we enjoy in our government extends also to our ordinary life. There, far from being jealous of each other, we do not feel called upon to be angry with our neighbor for doing what he likes."
