Solon made lots of new laws; here are some of them: There were lots of
foreigners, and they were to be farmers, and the legal people were to be
traders and such. Another law was that is there was not a public well
within 4 furlongs, dig your own, and if 10 fathoms had been dug, and
there was no water, you could get 4 and a 1/2 gallons from your
neighbors a day. You could not plant some trees within 9 feet of a
neighbor's. All these laws were to help uncrowd Athens. I think they
were good.
