Resident alien in ancient Greece without citizen rights?

Only male citizens of a city-state had rights. Women, children, non-citizens, aliens and slaves had no rights. Resident aliens (Metics) did have privileges according to beneficial contributions they made to the city. But these were not rights. Metics were expected to turn out in defence of the city when necessary as a quid pro quo for those privileges. Athens eg had a separate regiment of metics who were expected to fight very well to demonstrate their appreciation.

Metics have some rights, but not as much as aristocrats. Metics can't vote, but they can influence government. They couldn't own property, but they could use law courts.

Can citizens speak out freely in ancient Athens?

I think they can! As I've learned, ( We just learned about Ancient Greece, I'm in Sixth Grade!) Citizens have the most rights and they have equal amount of time to speak. Unlike Metics, slaves, women, and children. Now, if the citizen is ostracized, I don't know about that! :]
