Demosthenes then says that Androtion is a very different kind of legislator from Solon, the Athenian statesman responsible for many of Athens’ laws. He explains how Solon masterfully crafted the laws of Athens, and that it gives the people fair ways to go about rooting out crime and getting what they believe they deserve. Demosthenes then lists a large amount of the ways people can go about bringing a thief to justice. He then says to Androtion, that the people will use every method possible in order to make sure he pays for illegally proposing the law, and that he even had no right to propose the law in the first place, for a charge a prostitution had been levied against him and his father had cleared all of his debts.
