When you let more people be citizens as a result your government will expand which brings in people with good ideas, people who make good laws or could even be a good ruler. When a government lets more people be citizens then if those people who wouldn't be citizens in Greece but are in Rome they could have a great idea they can do something with that idea to make the government better. In the Athenian government they only let selection people be citizens which wouldn't make the government
