The reason metics did not have the full rights of citizens was because they were foreigners.

The reason metics did not have the full rights of citizens is because they were foreigners. Metics were considered resident aliens in ancient Athens, meaning they were non-Athenian individuals who lived and worked in the city-state. While they were allowed to live in Athens and engage in trade and commerce, metics did not have the same political and legal rights as citizens. They were not allowed to participate in the Athenian democracy, hold public office, or own land. Metics were also subject to certain taxes and obligations that citizens were not, and they did not receive the same level of protection and legal recourse as citizens.
