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.

They were resident aliens of ancient Athens. They were seen as citizens but only had the burdens of citizenship. Because of their ranking they led low paying jobs. Like male citizens male Metics also had to fight in war.
athens was made up of four social classes. aristocrats,citizens,metics and slaves.
People who were born in Ancient Athens or have been there more than 5 years working and proving there citizenship.,not the metics or the slaves.Men were only allowed to vote or participate in democracy.Also Ancient Athens is the Birthpalce of Democracy.
A metics role was to pay taxes and participate in the military. Boys were 13-14 when they left school to learn trade, while a girl works on her family farm or in the market.

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! :]
the metics ,and the slaves could not be citizens of Athens because
